The Edwards aquifer lies beneath part of the Edwards Plateau[1] and thus the climate of the Edwards Plateau can be used to describe the climate in the aquifer's region. The average annual temperature on the Edwards Plateau is 66 degrees Fahrenheit and the average annual precipitation amounts to 25.24 inches.[2] The temperatures vary by season with the lowest average temperature occurring in January, 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and the highest temperature occurring in July or August, nearing 85 degrees Fahrenheit for both months.[2] Conversely, January is the month with the lowest precipitation, averaging 1 inch, while May and September average the most, 3 inches.[2] The proximity of the Edwards Plateau to the Gulf of Mexico and its location in the middle latitudes creates variation in the weather patterns experienced between different years, seasons, and months.[2]
