Summers run hot, with about 72 days a year at 90°F or more and 2 at 100°F.2,3 A long hot season shortens the life of roofing, sealants and garage-door electronics, and it shapes what a contractor specifies. Annual precipitation is about 55 inches, with 18 days a year of an inch or more.2,3 Heavy rainfall makes flashing, drainage and ventilation details the difference between a sound assembly and a wet one.

Heating and cooling loads are both real: about 2,875 heating and 2,314 cooling degree days a year (base 65°F).2,3 Horn Lake sits in IECC climate zone 3A (Mixed-Humid).4 Building permits in Horn Lake are normally issued by the city building department.5,6
