===Climate===
Hebbronville has a borderline [[humid subtropical climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification]] ''Cfa'')/[[semi-arid climate#Hot semi-arid climates|hot semi-arid climate]] (Köppen ''BSh''). Summers are very hot and humid: 152 afternoons each year top {{convert|90|F|C|1|disp=or}}, with 27.6 afternoons reaching {{convert|100|F|C|1|disp=or}} and during the summer of 2009 eleven afternoons topped {{convert|110|F|C|1|disp=or}}.<ref name="NOW">[[National Weather Service]]; [http://w2.weather.gov/climate/xmacis.php?wfo=bro NOW Data], Brownsville, TX</ref> During July and August combined, all but three mornings stay above {{convert|68|F|C|disp=or}} and seven mornings per year stay above {{convert|77|F|C|disp=or}}, with as many as forty mornings staying over this temperature during 1998. The hottest temperature on record has been {{convert|118|F|C|1}} on July 9, 2009, and the hottest minimum {{convert|88|F|1}} on September 30, 2009, followed by {{convert|87|F|1}} the following day.

During the summer, rain is not common, but when a Gulf of Mexico [[hurricane]] moves inland it can be very heavy. From September 11 to 13, 1971, a total of {{convert|14.10|in|mm|1}} fell over three days from such a system, {{convert|14.73|in|mm|1}} in four days from September 20 to 23 of 1967, and {{convert|6.00|in|mm|1}} fell on August 27 and 28, 1909.<ref name="NOW"/> In contrast, no measurable precipitation fell in Hebbronville from June 10 to September 7 of 1921.

Temperatures decline slowly during the "fall" season, remaining hot through until the end of October, by which time most danger of flooding from a remnant hurricane has passed. The winter months are warm and usually dry, although occasionally an easterly flow will produce substantial rainfall. Three substantial storms in February and March 1923 produced a total of {{convert|11.06|in|mm|1}}, and the ten-day period from December 13 to 22 of 1991 saw {{convert|7.13|in|mm|1|disp=or}} of rainfall; however, only {{convert|1.71|in|mm|1|disp=or}} fell between October 1970 and the end of March 1971. Frosts do occasionally occur during the winter – 9.9 mornings fall to or below freezing during an average winter – but measurable snow has fallen in Hebbronville only three times in 112 years – on March 10, 1932, on January 20, 1940 during South Texas' coolest month on record,<ref>[[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]]; [https://www.esrl.noaa.gov/psd/cgi-bin/data/timeseries/timeseries.pl?ntype=2&typediv=1&state=+41&averaged=11&division=9&year1=1895&year2=2016&anom=4&iseas=0&mon1=0&mon2=0&typeout=1&y1=&y2=&plotstyle=0&Submit=Create+Timeseries Temperature (˚F) Ranking (low to high): Texas – Division 9: South]</ref> and on Christmas Day of 2004 when {{convert|5|in|m|disp=or}} fell in a famous "White Christmas".

Since 1905 the wettest calendar year has been 1995 with {{convert|42.75|in|mm|1}} and the driest 1996 with {{convert|11.52|in|mm|1}}, whilst September 1967 has proved the wettest month with {{convert|19.35|in|mm|1}}. The wettest single day has been September 12, 1971 with {{convert|9.40|in|mm|1}}.
