Frost dates for League City, Texas
Texas · first & last freeze, from NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals
In a typical year, the last spring freeze around League City comes near January 31 and the first fall freeze near December 14. One year in ten, a freeze still arrives after March 5 in spring — and one year in ten, the first fall freeze has already landed by November 19. NCEI's own growing-season statistic (days between freezes, percentiled per year) puts the median at 317 days.
Freeze-date probabilities, three thresholds
| Threshold | Last spring — 9 in 10 years past by | Last spring — typical (median) | Last spring — 1 in 10 years later than | First fall — 1 in 10 years by | First fall — typical (median) | First fall — 9 in 10 years by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 36°F — near-freezing (frost can occur) | January 21 | February 22 | March 17 | November 9 | November 29 | December 22 |
| 32°F — freezing | December 25 | January 31 | March 5 | November 19 | December 14 | January 19 |
| 28°F — hard freeze | December 19 | January 17 | February 24 | December 6 | January 3 | February 5 |
Measured at Houston Nwso, TX (USC00414333), 2.0 mi from the city's census reference point, elev. 19 ft. NOAA/NCEI 1991–2020 normals. Read each date column as odds over the 30-year record — e.g. "9 in 10 years past by" means only one spring in ten saw a later freeze than that date.
Frost-free windows (computed)
| Window (32°F ends) | Opens | Closes | Length |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cautious (1-in-10 freeze risk at each end) | March 5 | November 19 | 259 days |
| Typical (median freeze dates) | January 31 | December 14 | 317 days |
| Gambler's (9-in-10 freeze risk at each end) | December 25 | January 19 | 365 days (effectively year-round at this risk level) |
Pure arithmetic on the freeze-date percentiles above — the "cautious" window opens on the date only 1 year in 10 still sees a later spring freeze, and closes on the date by which only 1 year in 10 has already frozen.
