87° on Nov. 15, 2025, the hottest reading for this week of the year since 1964. Next is 85° in 2014.
White Deer’s center stands about 3,370 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 3,290 ft to 3,390 ft, a difference of 100 ft: gently rolling country.
The section below crosses 3 rock units mapped at the surface.
Heights every 0.1 mile from the Copernicus GLO-90 surface model; vertical exaggeration about 63×. The colored band under the surface is the rock the state geologic map shows at the surface, not a picture of what lies beneath.
Sand. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 19 mi of the line.
Sand. Age: Late Miocene to Pliocene, 2.6 to 12 million years old. About 4 mi of the line.
Clay, silt. Age: Pleistocene to Holocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 0.5 mi of the line.
From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

White Deer has a humid subtropical climate. Summer afternoons average 93° in July; winter nights fall to about 23° in January. A normal year brings about 16 inches of snow; with the rain, that comes to about 23 inches of water.
On November 14 White Deer normally reaches 61° and falls to 33°. The record high is 83°, in 2025; the record low 9°, in 2018. The most rain on this date, 0.58 in, fell in 1970.
Normals 1991–2020 and records since 1964 at Pampa # 2, 14 miles northeast, 220 ft lower. NOAA, through RCC-ACIS.
