Climate - 
Fort Davis has 325 clear days a year, with 193 days 
absolutely cloudless. Golf can be played practically all 
year. 'The rainy season is in late summer and early an- 
tumn. It is the high altitude of one mile above sea-level 
that makes the summers cool, while it is the extreme 
southern latitude that keeps the winters from being 
really cold. There are only a few days in winter too 
cold to be comfortably out of doors — and sometimes 
* 
none at all. This combination of high altitude and south- 
erly latitude gives the Davis Mountains undoubtedly the 
finest summer and winter climate in America. This is 
saying a lot, but facts certainly appear to prove it. It is 
said that a person can “rest faster'' or recuperate more 
quickly here than in most places. There is assuredly no 
better place to rest and recuperate and find health and 
pleasure and satisfying days than in this delightful spot 
of the golden mean between latitude and altitude.
