87° on Nov. 15, 2025, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1948. Next is 86° in 1999.
Keller’s center stands about 710 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 650 ft to 790 ft, a difference of 140 ft: gently rolling country.
Under the town center the state geologic map shows Grayson Marl and Main Street Limestone, undivided (marlstone, limestone), from the Early Cretaceous to Late Cretaceous, 66 to 145 million years old.
The section below crosses 5 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 57×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sandstone-mudstone. Age: Late Cretaceous, 66 to 100 million years old. About 10 mi of the line.
Marlstone, limestone. Age: Early Cretaceous to Late Cretaceous, 66 to 145 million years old. About 6 mi of the line.
Limestone. Age: Early Cretaceous, 100 to 145 million years old. About 5 mi of the line.
Claystone. Age: Early Cretaceous, 100 to 145 million years old. About 3 mi of the line.
Clay. Age: Early Cretaceous, 100 to 145 million years old. About 0.7 mi of the line.

A raindrop that lands in Keller reaches Galveston Bay and the Gulf of America by way of Big Bear Creek, Bear Creek and the Trinity: about 480 river miles.
Lake on the way: Woodlands Golf Course Lake.
270 miles of the trip are on the Trinity.
Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of Keller; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
Keller has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 94° in July; winter nights fall to about 36° in January. About 38 inches of rain fall in a normal year, with about 2 inches of snow.
On November 14 Keller normally reaches 66° and falls to 46°. The record high is 86°, in 1999; the record low 23°, in 2018. The most rain on this date, 1.80 in, fell in 1994.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1948 at Fort Worth Wsfo, 7 miles south-southwest. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
