Texas Weather

Texas Weather varies widely, depending on which part of the state you are interested in. The southern and western parts of Texas are dry, the northwest is humid, and the rest of the state is somewhere in between arid and humid.

With humidity comes rain, so while the northern and western parts of Texas typically receive 16 to 30 inches of rain annually, areas in the northwest can get over 50 inches.

Due to its size, Texas suffers from more tornadoes than any other state. Flooding can occur as the result of tropical storms or stalled weather fronts. Like all Gulf Coast states, Texas is very susceptible to hurricanes on her coast.

Texas is the second largest state in the United States, and it's so large that a better understanding of Texas Weather can be achieved by looking at the climate of the different cities in the state.
