The Lexington station averages 27 nights a year at or below 32°F - a short freeze season.2,3 Heat is the governing season: about 111 days a year reach 90°F and 15 reach 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 38 inches, with 12 days a year bringing an inch or more.2,3 Cooling dominates the year: about 2,922 cooling degree days against 1,774 heating degree days (base 65°F).2,3 In a cooling-led climate, attic ventilation, duct sealing and window solar gain are where the energy code concentrates. Giddings sits in IECC climate zone 2A (Hot-Humid).4
