Travel and Weather in Texas

by Gabriel Traverso

Texas Weather

Texas is a larger than life-size state! If you're looking for endless travel opportunities or want to relocate to a place with lots of options, then Texas won't disappoint. Many might think Texas hot all year round, but the climate is not without variety. It's true that if a good tan is your notion of an ideal souvenir, Padre Island is your travel destination. Still, the north generally offers the mild arid temperatures adored by sun seekers while the south receives the bulk of the annual rainfall, offering a more lush experience.

Open Arms

The climate of Texas opens its arms to tourism and welcomes the out-of-state visitor. Houston, the largest city in Texas, with its mild climate (an annual average of only 18 days a year with 32°F or less) allows for the year-round golf game. Dallas, in the northeast, offers a milder climate letting you enjoy the wildlife and scenery Texas has to offer. From the spring rain and romantic thunderstorms of Dallas, travel west and experience the sun-drenched scenery and rich history of El Paso.

Welcoming Weather

Deep blue skies, wide-open spaces, and warm weather make for excellent statewide travel and tourism. It's true that the seasons don't vary greatly from summer to winter, but who can say no to a year dominated by sunny days? With 624 miles of shoreline on the Gulf and over 260,000 square miles to explore, why not pack your bathing suit and suntan lotion and pay a visit to the Lone Star State!
