Weather and
Dress
Winter
(months of December, January and February):
Colder, but only a parka-style coat would be needed on the
coldest of afternoons. Average afternoon highs are 55 to 60
degrees Fahrenheit with near freezing to the low 40s in the
early mornings. Frontal passage rain usually lasts on the
average of 24 hours or less.
Fall and spring:
Might require long pants and a sweater, or a light
rain-repellant jacket. The temperatures are very moderate
with days of full sunshine and days of frontal passage rain.
Due to the state's proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, these
frontal passages still allow daytime highs of 50 to 70
degrees Fahrenheit.
Summer
(months of June, July and August):
Quite warm with daytime highs in the upper 90s Fahrenheit
and nighttime lows in the upper 60s. Comfortable clothing in
the form of short pants and short-sleeve shirts are
recommended. Most indoor attractions statewide are
air-conditioned.
