Sunshine and Shivers: The January Temperature Two-Step
January in San Antonio is a month of pleasant surprises. Think sunshine! We're talking an average of around 7 highs in the 60s Fahrenheit (that's a cool 15-ish in Celsius for our international friends). But hold your horses (or should we say longhorns?), because those lows can dip down to the 40s (around 4-5 degrees Celsius). So it's a bit of a weather two-step: warm days that make you want to grab a sweet tea on a patio, followed by evenings that remind you it's still winter, y'all.
Pro Tip: Pack layers! You'll thank yourself when you can adjust your outfit from sunshine-seeker to cozy night owl.
Tip: Pause if your attention drifts.
Rain, Rain, Go Away (or Maybe Not?)
San Antonio in January sees its fair share of sprinkles, with an average of around 4 rainy days scattered throughout the month. But don't let that dampen your spirits (pun intended)! These showers are usually quick and refreshing, leaving the city sparkling clean and ready for more exploring. Plus, hey, there's something romantic about cuddling up under an umbrella with your sweetheart, right?
Alternative Pro Tip: If you're worried about getting caught in a downpour, stash a light rain jacket in your bag. But chances are, you'll just end up using it as a souvenir (because everything's bigger in Texas, including the gift shops!).
Tip: Keep scrolling — each part adds context.
So, How Should I Pack for This January Jumble?
Here's the skinny:
- T-shirts and light sweaters for those delightful daytime highs.
- Long sleeves, jeans, and a light jacket for those evenings with a little more chill.
- Comfortable walking shoes – you'll be doing a lot of exploring! (Side note: leave the stilettos at home, the Riverwalk is paved with cobblestones, honey!)
- Maybe an umbrella, just in case. But hey, if you forget, you can pretend it's a fashion statement.
Remember: Texas weather can be a bit of a wildcard, so be prepared for anything!
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
