What Progreso Lakes's climate does to appliances
Progreso Lakes averages a July high near 99°F and a January low around 53°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Mcallen Miller International Airport station, 19 mi away).

When do appliances fail most often in Progreso Lakes?
Refrigeration calls in Progreso Lakes peak from late spring through early autumn — 9 months average 80°F or hotter and a July high near 99°F forces refrigerators into near-continuous cycles.
Is it safe to keep a refrigerator or freezer in my garage in Progreso Lakes?
Heat is the concern. With July highs near 99°F, a standard refrigerator in an uninsulated garage runs well beyond its rated ambient range — usually ending in a burned-out condenser fan or early compressor failure.
Are older homes in Progreso Lakes harder to fit modern appliances into?
Sometimes. Roughly 15.6% of Progreso Lakes homes predate 1960 (US Census ACS), and in those the appliance opening and the circuit are worth measuring before buying a replacement.
