Owning a Car in Pharr
Pharr sees about 177 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and 40 of them reach 100°F. Heat wears a battery out faster than cold does, so a battery that seems fine in spring can quit in August. Get it tested once it is three years old. Heat also works the AC, the cooling fan and the coolant hard, and those jobs pile up in the first hot weeks of the year.
The average commute in Pharr is 21 minutes each way, and 78% of workers drive there alone.
