WEATHER IN TEXAS??? ?

Question

I just moved to Dallas from San Diego... And I am miserable from the humidity and the heat.

When does it start getting cooler and more bearable?

What is autumn and winter like?

San Diego really doesn't have seasons so I am just wondering what I should expect.

All answers are greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

  I will be hot well into September maybe even October.  We get snow about every 3 years.  Ice storms are very dangerous, great time to use vacation days to stay home.  

Answer 2

It will be a huge change. It's SOOOO hot in the summer, and can get pretty cold in winter (20's 30's here and there) , but I loved living there. It's a fun city, and worth the crazy weather.

Answer 3

Honestly, we still have a couple of months before things start cooling down. Why on earth would you move from somewhere so beautiful to.....here? Dallas sucks!

Answer 4

Welcome.  It is  really  bad  now  with  long  periods  of  no  rain.  Last  year  there  was  flooding  from  too much  rain in  summer.   It  will be  at  least  another  month  and  will start  with  nippy  mornings,  kids  need  a  jacket,  then  as  they  come  home it  will be to  warm  for  jacket  so they  lose  it  or  are  dragging  it  along. Autum  is  great. but  often rain.  Then  winter  hits  fast.  More  ice  then  snow but we  have  great  systems  of  ice  trucks  to  prepare  bridges and  roads. If  snow  comes  take  photos  fast  as  it  usually  melts  in  few  hours.  I  curently live  Fort  Worth.  

Answer 5

I spent 3 years in San Antonio, which is considerably more south but the weather is always very warm and humid from March - October.  And even the winters are rather mild.  In winter months I never wore more than a light jacket.  Rarely does the temp get to freezing.  And this year the weather in Texas has been exceptionally brutal according to my son who is stationed at Fort Hood near Killeen.  Of course it is still a relief from the 130+ temps he endured while deployed to Iraq for 15 months.
