Owning a Car in Wichita Falls
Wichita Falls sees about 105 days a year at 90°F or hotter, and 30 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.
It freezes on about 58 nights a year here. Not many, but the first cold snap is when a weak battery shows itself, so test it in the fall.
The average commute in Wichita Falls is 14 minutes each way, and 70% of workers drive there alone.
