The Great Texas Temperature Tango: A Regional Romp
Texas is a big state, and like a good pair of boots, it ain't one-size-fits-all. So, the answer to our burning question (pun intended) depends on where you're headed.
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.
- Coastal Crusader? Hold onto your flip-flops, because the Gulf Coast gets toasty early, with spring fever morphing into summer sizzle around April or May.
- Central Texan Two-Stepper? Central Texas tends to follow suit a bit later, with things heating up in June. But don't be fooled by that initial sweetness, July and August will crank it up to eleven.
- Mountain Majesty Seeker? You might score a slightly milder start in the mountainous regions, but don't expect a free pass. By July, even the mountains will be feeling the heat.
Pro Tip: No matter where you're going in Texas, be prepared for the possibility of triple-digit temperatures (that's above 100 degrees Fahrenheit for those unfamiliar with the language of fire).
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
