Frost dates for Seguin, TX, ZIP 78156

Zone 9a

Around 03/01 is the usual last spring frost, about 185 days away. The first fall frost typically arrives around 11/26, about 273 frost-free days later.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map puts Seguin in Zone 9a (20 to 25°F average annual minimum); frost dates are NOAA's 1991-2020 station normal, not this year's forecast.

What to do before the first frost

Zone 9a around Seguin has about 13 weeks left before the first fall frost — that's the usual window to get a cold frame up if you want to keep harvesting past it.

Why 03/01 isn't a guarantee

03/01 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Plant by 02/03 and you're betting against frost in roughly 9 years out of 10. 03/20 is the safer bet, historically only a 1-in-10 chance of frost that late.
