Editing Pharr, Texas (section)

==Climate==
Pharr has a [[humid subtropical climate]], similar to that of the [[Tampa Bay Area]] of [[Florida]], but with less precipitation and slightly higher summer maximum temperatures. The average high in January is {{convert|68|F}}, and the average low is {{convert|47|F}}. In August, the average high is {{convert|100|F}}, and the average low is {{convert|80|F}}. The warm season is long, with average highs and lows similar to August's from June through September.

The average annual precipitation is {{convert|21.0|in}}. Most precipitation occurs in the warm season, with the least precipitation distinctly occurring in the cooler winter. As September is the peak of the north [[Atlantic hurricane season]] and tropical storms and hurricanes occasionally drop copious amounts of rainfall on the region, this month tends to be by far the wettest, averaging {{convert|3.6|in}} of precipitation. The driest month is March, with {{convert|0.7|in}} of precipitation.

Despite frequent temperatures above {{convert|100|F}}, occasionally as early as February and as late as the end of October, the highest temperature ever recorded in Pharr is {{convert|110|F}}, once in 1998 and once in 1999. The lowest temperature ever recorded in Pharr is {{convert|13|F}}, on January 12, 1962, which is far lower than would be expected at the same latitude in Florida or on the west coast of North America, due to Pharr's location closer to the middle of the continent.
