This is the 'Texas Weather Channel'. Today, I would like to talk about the climate of our state, Texas.

Since Texas is so large, the weather varies quite a bit from region to region, which is fascinating, and I hope this information helps those who need to know about Texas.


Now, let me guide you through Texas's year-round climate and clothing tips!

  • Summer:
    Hot and humid days last for a long time. The sky is often clear, and July and August are the hottest months.

  • Rainy season:
    Rain mainly concentrates in the spring and fall. It usually pours heavily for about 1-2 days, so be sure to check the weather forecast before going out!

  • Winter:
    Overall, it is mild, but the temperature difference between regions can be about 20 degrees Fahrenheit (around 11 degrees Celsius). The southern 'Rio Grande Valley' area remains relatively warm, around 15-20℃ even in winter.

  • Precipitation:
    There is a significant difference by region. Many areas in the west receive less than 10 inches (25 cm) of rain a year, while the east can get over 60 inches (150 cm).

  • Snow:
    It is rare in most areas, but it often accumulates in the western mountainous regions.

So, what should you wear in Texas?

  • Summer: Light clothing, sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen are essential!
  • Winter: Layering thin clothes is a good idea, and it's helpful to bring hats, scarves, and gloves.
  • Coastal areas: Be prepared with waterproof clothing as rain can come suddenly.


The weather in Texas is very diverse depending on the region and season.

Areas close to the Gulf Coast, like Houston or Corpus Christi, are hot and very humid in the summer. Even in winter, temperatures do not drop significantly, so it tends to be warm or humid most of the year.

As you head towards the west, like El Paso, a desert climate appears, with significant temperature differences between day and night, and little rainfall. Here, you can often see dry and clear skies.

The northern Panhandle region—this area is at a high elevation and experiences significant seasonal temperature changes, so it often snows in winter. Sometimes blizzards hit, making you wonder, 'Is this really Texas?'

Also, areas like Austin or central Dallas and Fort Worth have a typical humid subtropical climate, with hot summers and thunderstorms that often come with lightning. However, winters are relatively mild, so while it can get chilly occasionally, you don't have to worry about heavy snow like in other states.

In summary, Texas is a place where desert, humid, and mild climates coexist within a week. The unique charm of Texas is that each season and region showcases different attractions, isn't it?

That's all for the Texas climate story. Have a great day, everyone!
