Southeast Texas Climate Data
--Independence Day-- |
|
On the Fourth of July, average temperatures across all of Southeast
Texas continue to rise. Summer is officially about two weeks old, but
the area has been warming significantly since the middle and end of spring.
On the Fourth of July, there has been only one tropical storm or hurricane
that has made landfall anywhere between Matagorda Bay and the Texas-Louisiana
border since 1871. Way back in 1874, a hurricane made landfall in the Matagorda
Bay area. Since then, not a single tropical cyclone has made landfall along the
upper Texas coast on Independence Day.
The following tables will show the five warmest, coldest and wettest
July 4th's across the area.
