First & Last Frost Dates of Texas Cities and Towns

Texas has many different weather patterns all over the state. In the south, like in Brownsville, you can grow plants all year round (365 days). But in the north, like in Dalhart, you can only grow for about half the year (179 days). This makes a big difference in how and when people can grow their plants.

Cities near the coast like Houston, Corpus Christi, and the Rio Grande Valley can grow plants for a long time each year. But up north, in places like the Panhandle, the growing time is much shorter. Up there, the last frost might happen in April, and the first frost might come as early as October.

This guide helps gardeners and farmers know when frost happens in different Texas cities and towns. It shows the closest weather stations and how far away they are, so people can plan better when to plant and harvest.
