The climate of Dallas (Texas
- United States of America)
Dallas is a large city located in the northern part of the state of
Texas. Dallas is among the ten largest cities in the United States.
The city was founded at the beginning of the 19th century. Prior to
this the region was home to the Caddo Indians. With the coming of a
railroad at the end of the 19th century the city flourished. At the
beginning of the 20th century oil and gas were found here giving the
economy an even bigger impulse. Dallas became world famous on 22
November 1963 when John F. Kennedy was murdered here by Lee Harvey
Oswald. Ever since this assassination there have been conspiracy
theories. Many sports teams are based in Dallas. The Texas Rangers
compete in the Major League Baseball. The Dallas Cowboys compete in
the National Football League. The Dallas Mavericks compete in the
National Basketball Association and the Dallas Stars compete in the
National Hockey League. Dallas has a warm maritime climate influenced
by the Gulf of Mexico. Because of this influence extremes in weather
are uncommon in Dallas. During the winter average nighttime
temperatures are just above freezing point. However, longer periods
with subzero temperatures during the night are not uncommon. During
the summer average temperatures are high. This, in combination with
high precipitation figures cause humidity figures to be high as well.
Most precipitation falls during early summer.

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:
