Texas has a climate as varied as its topography. Summer brings average temperatures of 96°F (36°C) in the southwest, 91°F (33°C) in Amarillo in the panhandle, and 88°F (31°C) on the Gulf Coast between April and October, while winters range from 29°F (-2°C) to 48°F (9°C) from November to March. The Gulf Coast generally experiences hot and humid summers, but mild winters. The coast is also prone to heavy rainfall, hurricanes and tornadoes. Colder winters with snowfall occur in the northwestern panhandle, whereas dry and hot conditions exist along the Mexican border, with the least amount of rainfall in the state.
