Texas in April

March through May offers perfect weather—wildflowers bloom across Hill Country, and temperatures stay in the 70s and 80s. October and November bring similar conditions without the spring break crowds. Summer means 100°F+ heat and high humidity, especially in Houston. But it also means cheaper hotels and shorter lines at attractions. Just stay hydrated and plan indoor activities during peak afternoon hours. December through February can surprise you—Dallas occasionally sees snow, while South Texas stays mild. Austin's South by Southwest happens in March, making hotels expensive but the city electric. Houston's rodeo runs February through March. San Antonio's Fiesta San Antonio in April draws massive crowds. Fall offers football season across the state, from high school Friday night lights to college gamedays that shut down entire towns.
