Southeast Texas Climate Data
--Halloween-- |
|
The weather on Halloween is typically autumnlike with mild temperatures.
An occasional cold front will glide through the region about once every
three years bringing slightly cooler temperatures and scattered showers.
Rain has fallen on Halloween about 33 percent of the time in College
Station, Galveston and Houston. Average high temperatures are generally
in the mid to upper 70s. October is one of the rare months in Southeast
Texas where there is very little variation in high temperatures between
coastal and inland locations. Average low temperatures range from the
lower 50s over the north, mid 50s central and lower 60s along the coast.
Snow has neven fallen on trick or treaters but Jack Frost may have nipped
at Mr. Jack O'Lantern a time or two.
Weather conditions vary in October. Some months are unusually quiet
while others can be unusually violent. One significant outbreak of unusual
weather occurred on Halloween in 1981. Heavy rain fell along a stationary
front draped across the area. Rainfall totals averaged 5 to 10 inches along
and west of Interstate 45. Some rainfall totals included 6.80 inches in Ft.
Bend County, 10 inches in Austin County and 9 inches in both Colorado County
and Wharton County.
