Weather in Texas

A state as vast as the Texan spirit itself, Texas boasts a climate as diverse as its landscapes. With its sheer size, Texas experiences a range of weather patterns.

Further east to Dallas and Fort Worth, autumn and winter bring a touch of chill, but summers are hot, muggy and rainy. In Houston, winter is milder, but the city sees more rainfall, particularly during April and May. The region is prone to hurricanes, with September bringing the most stormy weather along the Gulf coast.
