About Crane County Weather
Hot High-Desert Living
Crane County reaches an annual average of 66.3°F, placing it well above the U.S. median temperature. This arid environment experiences much higher heat levels than most of the country.
Warmer than the Texas Baseline
Its 66.3°F annual average is warmer than the Texas state average of 65.5°F. It stands out as one of the hotter and drier pockets in the Permian Basin region.
Extreme Aridity in the Basin
Crane is exceptionally dry with only 12.1 inches of rain, which is less than half of what Cottle County receives. It shares a similar 2.0-inch snowfall pattern with its high-desert neighbors.
Over Four Months of Extreme Heat
The county endures a staggering 126 days per year over 90°F, among the highest in the state. July is intense with an 84.2°F average, while winters remain mild at 47.6°F.
Heavy HVAC Usage and Water Conservation
HVAC systems must be rated for extreme desert heat to manage over four months of 90°F weather. Water conservation is essential given the meager 12.1 inches of annual precipitation.
