- United States of America)
Amarillo is a large city located in the northern part of the state of
Texas in Potter County. Amarillo is the largest city in the Texas
Panhandle. The city was founded at the beginning of the 19th century.

colder here. During the winter longer periods with subzero

More climate information
Climate figures are very useful but don’t present a general impression
of the climate and the eventual weather circumstances within a certain
period. The figures don’t always reflect the chance of wintry weather,
extreme heat or hurricanes. That is why we offer useful extra climate
information for each month of the year:
