The climate of Brownsville (Texas
- United States of America)
Brownsville is a large city located in the most southerly tip of the
state of Texas. The city is located on the banks of the Rio Grande
which forms the natural border with Mexico here. Across the river the
Mexican city of Matamoros can be found. The urban area of these two
cities is home to more than 1 million people. The city was founded
during the second part of the 19th century as a military outpost. Just
outside the city the Port of Brownsville can be found. This port is
one of the main sources of income for the city. Brownsville has a warm
maritime climate influenced by the Gulf of Mexico. Because of this
extremes in weather are uncommon. During Christmas in 2004 almost 4
centimeters of snowfall could be recorded here. This was the first
white Christmas in Brownsville ever. Prior to this it was more than a
century ago that snow fell in Brownsville.

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:
