Editing Laredo, Texas (section)

===Climate===
Laredo is considered to have a [[hot semi-arid climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]], ''BSh''). with sweltering temperatures in the summer and mild temperatures during the winter. Its weather is affected by the [[Sierra Madre Oriental]] mountains to the west, the Gulf of Mexico to the east, and the [[Chihuahuan Desert]] of Northern Mexico and West Texas. Moisture from the Pacific is cut off by the Mexican mountain range.

The normal monthly mean temperature ranges from {{convert|57.6|°F|1}} in January to {{convert|89.1|°F|1}} in August; official record temperatures range from {{convert|11|°F|1}} on December 30, 1983, up to {{convert|115|°F|1}} on May 7, 1927, June 17, 1908, and June 19, 2023.<ref name = "NOWData NWS Corpus Christi, TX (CRP)"/> On average, temperatures reach {{convert|100|°F|1}} or higher on 74.2 afternoons annually, and fall to or below the freezing mark on 4.6 mornings, although, in five seasons,{{efn|1931–32, 1949–50, 2012–13, 2014–15 and 2015–16.}} the annual minimum temperature was above freezing.<ref name = "NOWData NWS Corpus Christi, TX (CRP)"/><ref name = NOAA/>

Rainfall averages {{convert|19.7|in|mm|abbr=on}} annually, with higher amounts typically occurring from May to October, with peaks in May and September separated by a secondary minimum due to a westward shift of the [[subtropical anticyclone]] and divergence between the [[westerlies]] and [[trade winds]].<ref>{{cite book|author-link=Glenn Thomas Trewartha|last=Trewartha|first=Glenn Thomas|title=The Earth's Problem Climates|year=1961|pages=67-68, 71-72}}</ref> Actual annual rainfall has ranged from {{convert|6.65|in|mm|1|disp=or}} in 2011 to {{convert|42.28|in|mm|1|disp=or}} in 1971.
