==Climate== {{GeoGroup|section=Climate}} More than half of Presidio County, 54.6%, experiences a hot [[desert climate|arid desert climate]] ([[Köppen climate classification|Köppen]] ''BWh''). The remainder has a [[semi-arid climate|semiarid steppe climate]] with 34.7% classified as a cold steppe climate (Köppen ''BSk'') and 10.8% as a hot steppe climate (Köppen ''BSh'').<ref name="Koppen">{{cite web|title=Main Köppen-Geiger Climate Classes for US counties|url=http://koeppen-geiger.vu-wien.ac.at/data/KoeppenGeiger.UScounty.txt|last1=Kottek|first=M.|last2=Grieser|first2=J.|last3=Beck|first3=C.|last4=Rudolf|first4=B.|last5=Rubel|first5=F.|year=2006|publisher=Schweizerbart Science Publishers|access-date=March 26, 2016}}</ref> Temperatures are coolest and rainfall most abundant in the higher elevations of the Davis and Chinati Mountains. By contrast, the lowlands along the Rio Grande along the southern and western areas of the county are dry with often extreme summer daytime heat and where winter snowfall is unusual. Throughout the county, May through October marks the rainy season, while the remainder of the year is predominantly dry. ;Candelaria {{See also|Candelaria, Texas#Climate}} * Coordinates: {{Coord|30.13833|N|104.68222|W|name=Candelaria}} * Elevation: {{convert|2877|ft|m|0}}<ref name="US COOP Stations">{{Cite web|publisher=[[Western Regional Climate Center]], [[Desert Research Institute]]|title=US COOP Station Map|url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/coopmap/|access-date=March 26, 2016}}</ref> {{Weather box/concise F |location=Candelaria, Texas (June 1, 1940–July 22, 2011) |sctemp=t |source=[[Western Regional Climate Center]], [[Desert Research Institute]]<ref name="CanWeather">{{Cite web|publisher=Western Regional Climate Center, Desert Research Institute|title=CANDELARIA, TEXAS (411416), Period of Record Monthly Climate Summary|url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?tx1416|access-date=March 26, 2016}}</ref> |66.6|72.4|80.7|89.3|96.6|101.9|100.0|97.7|92.9|85.6|74.6|66.8 <!--highs--> |31.5|35.2|40.6|48.2|56.5|65.3|68.2|66.4|61.5|49.9|38.1|31.6 <!--lows--> |0.44|0.36|0.27|0.36|0.65|1.48|2.17|2.26|1.99|1.19|0.39|0.45 <!--rain--> }} ;Marfa {{See also|Marfa, Texas#Climate}} * Coordinates: {{Coord|30.31250|N|104.07222|W|name=Marfa #2}} * Elevation: {{convert|4790|ft|m|0}}<ref name="US COOP Stations"/> {{Weather box/concise F |location=Marfa #2, Texas (December 1, 1958–July 31, 2009) |sctemp=t |source=[[Western Regional Climate Center]], [[Desert Research Institute]]<ref name="MarWeather">{{Cite web|publisher=Western Regional Climate Center, Desert Research Institute|title=MARFA #2, TEXAS (415596), Period of Record Monthly Climate Summary|url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?tx5596|access-date=March 26, 2016}}</ref> |60.2|63.9|71.2|78.8|85.8|91.2|89.6|87.5|83.6|77.3|67.6|60.8 <!--highs--> |25.7|28.1|33.5|41.4|50.1|57.6|60.2|59.1|54.0|44.1|33.4|26.6 <!--lows--> |0.42|0.47|0.31|0.59|1.17|1.78|2.73|2.89|2.57|1.39|0.58|0.50 <!--rain--> }} ;Miller Ranch Miller Ranch is located in the far north of the county ten miles from [[Valentine, Texas|Valentine]] in adjoining Jeff Davis County. * Coordinates: {{Coord|30.5525|N|104.64667|W|name=Valentine 10 WSW}} * Elevation: {{convert|4394|ft|m|0}}<ref name="US COOP Stations"/> {{Weather box/concise F |location=Valentine 10 WSW, Texas (March 1, 1897–March 31, 2013) |sctemp=t |source=[[Western Regional Climate Center]], [[Desert Research Institute]]<ref name="MilWeather">{{Cite web|publisher=Western Regional Climate Center, Desert Research Institute|title=VALENTINE 10 WSW, TEXAS (419275), Period of Record Monthly Climate Summary|url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?tx9275|access-date=March 26, 2016}}</ref> |63.3|64.0|72.5|78.0|87.7|93.3|92.2|91.1|87.1|79.8|72.1|63.9 <!--highs--> |29.2|29.6|35.7|42.9|52.1|62.6|64.9|62.2|56.4|46.7|35.3|25.2 <!--lows--> |0.57|0.47|0.34|0.36|0.83|1.72|2.38|2.43|2.42|1.19|0.51|0.56 <!--rain--> }} ;Presidio {{See also|Presidio, Texas#Climate}} * Coordinates: {{Coord|29.57111|N|104.37139|W|name=Presidio}} * Elevation: {{convert|2610|ft|m|0}}<ref name="US COOP Stations"/> {{Weather box/concise F |location=Presidio, Texas (October 1, 1927–March 6, 2013) |sctemp=t |source=[[Western Regional Climate Center]], [[Desert Research Institute]]<ref name="PreWeather">{{Cite web|publisher=Western Regional Climate Center, Desert Research Institute|title=PRESIDIO, TEXAS (417262), Period of Record Monthly Climate Summary|url=http://www.wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?tx7262|access-date=March 26, 2016}}</ref> |67.3|73.9|81.9|90.2|97.4|102.6|101.1|99.8|94.9|87.2|75.7|67.4 <!--highs--> |33.4|38.3|44.6|53.2|62.4|71.2|73.0|71.8|66.5|55.5|41.9|34.4 <!--lows--> |0.41|0.33|0.18|0.31|0.64|1.22|1.54|1.43|1.48|0.91|0.38|0.42 <!--rain--> }}
