The Eastland climate, from a business owner’s view

The nearest NOAA station with 1991-2020 climate normals, Eastland, is 0.2 miles from Eastland. It records an average high of 96°F in August and an average low of 30°F in January. About 29 inches of rain and melted snow fall in a normal year, most of it in May. The high reaches 90°F or more on about 96 days a year, and the low falls to freezing or below on about 68 days.
