Southeast Texas Climate Data
--New Year's Day-- |
|
It is difficult to describe the average weather to expect on New Years Day. High temperatures have ranged from the lower 80s to sub-freezing. Low temperatures across southeast Texas have varied from the teens to the upper 60s. Low temperatures in the College Station area fall below freezing about once every four years with the last occurrence in 2002. The Houston area low temperatures will fall to or below freezing about once every five years and the last occurrence was also in 1991. Father time ought to carry an umbrella as rain occurs rather frequently - roughly twice every five years in the Houston/Galveston areas and once every three years in the College Station area. In 2013, Galveston recorded 4.01 inches of rain. The College Station area endured an ice storm on New Years Day in 1979. Snow was mixed with the freezing rain toward the end of the day and the 1979 holiday remains the only New Years Day with snow reported.
