A single row can hide a real spread — open a month to see it region by region.

Hill Country & Central Texas

Austin A long, loud summer bracketed by short, beautiful shoulder seasons, in a city that arranges its social life around dodging the middle.
San Antonio A sun-soaked, Gulf-humid city with a long serious summer and a winter that barely bothers to show up.

North Texas

Dallas Big, exposed prairie weather — nothing between here and Canada in winter, nothing between here and the sun in August.

Houston & the Upper Coast

Houston Subtropical and unapologetic: a long, heavy, wet summer, a winter that barely arrives, and a storm season you keep an eye on.
Galveston An island where the Gulf sets the thermostat — slow to warm in spring, slow to let go in fall, and never out of the wind.

South Texas Coast

Corpus Christi A working bayfront city where the wind almost never stops and the Gulf keeps winter from ever really landing.
South Padre Island A long thin sandbar where the Gulf sets the thermostat, so winter barely lands and summer starts early and refuses to leave.

Far West Texas

El Paso Sun almost every day of the year, a mountain range down the middle of town, and a summer that runs on afternoon storms.
