The Wild Weather of Texas

9/30/2020 (Permalink)

The weather in Texas is anything but routine.  One day it is extreme heat, the next it feels cool and rainy for extended periods of time.  We often get hurricanes with a couple tornadoes mixed in here and there throughout the year.  What is the cause of this?  Texas is a very large land mass with a big mix of climates, a mixture of things goes into creating this wild weather.  One is the fairly close distance to the equator.  Texas ranges from around 26-37 degrees latitude. 90 degrees represent the ends at the poles.  A second reason is the proximity to water with the Gulf of Mexico being a border.  These first 2 items account for the heat, humidity and winds, the other element in this concoction is cold air brought down from Canada. While we mostly enjoy the warmer weather in Texas, as the Boy Scouts say, Always Be Prepared!

If this weather causes any storm damage, give SERVPRO of Southwest Dallas a call!
