Texas Weather: A Love-Hate Relationship

The Four Seasons: Hell, Hell, Hell, and Oh Crap
Don't be fooled by the term "four seasons." In Texas, it's more like "four hells."
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.
- Summer: Picture this: a giant hairdryer on full blast, coupled with humidity levels that could rival a rainforest. Sweating is an Olympic sport here. Deodorant is a luxury item.
- Winter: Now, this is where it gets interesting (or not). One year, you'll be wearing shorts and flip-flops, and the next, you'll need a parka and snow boots. Yes, Texas, you can have snow. But don't get too excited; it usually melts faster than a popsicle in a kid's hand.
- Spring: Ah, spring. The time of year when nature explodes in a riot of color... and allergies. If you're not sneezing your head off, you're probably not doing spring right.
- Fall: This is Texas's attempt at being normal. Mild temperatures, beautiful foliage (if you squint), and a general sense of calm before the winter storm chaos. Enjoy it while it lasts.
The Special Effects: Tornadoes, Hurricanes, and Hail the Size of Golf Balls
Just when you think you've got Texas weather figured out, BAM! A tornado drops in for a surprise visit. Or maybe a hurricane decides to pay a coastal call. And let's not forget about hail. We're talking hail that could dent your car, not just those cute little ice pellets.
Tip: Take mental snapshots of important details.
