Texas Weather

Texas Climate

There's an old expression that Texans use when talking about the state's ever changing weather: "If you don't like it now, just wait five minutes." Texas is blessed with fairly mild weather year-round. Sunshine is prevalent no matter what part of Texas you visit throughout the year. Visitors to the Lone Star State should make sure to dress for every occassion, whether you're bathing in the sun on the Texas beach or hiking to the top of a montain peak in Big Bend.

Texas Winters are usually mild, but it can get cold and snowfall isn't uncommon in the northern parts of Texas. Fall is quite marvellous in Texas; the leaves begin to change and the temperatures are just right all the time. Springtime is Fantastic in Texas. It's the perfect time for discovering beautiful Texas widlflowers, which dot the sides of the highways, thanks to generous rainfall that is usually plentiful during springtime in the Lone Star State. Summer provides the perfect opportunity to enjoy the multitude of lakes and swimming holes around Texas, or to relax on the porch while sipping a tall glass of iced tea. You're bound to soak up some sun, so don't forget to pack your swimsuit. After all, a perfect tan makes a great souvenir.

Pack a full suitcase for your trip to Texas. Long pants and short pants, long sleeves and short sleeves, beach towels and warm jackets. And don't forget your boots and cowboy hats!
