What is the coldest recorded temperature in Texas?

Texas is a vast state with many different types of terrain and weather patterns.

One can go out in a t-shirt and shorts in the morning and need jeans and a heavy coat before nightfall.

Native Texans are noted for saying, "If you don't like the weather here, just wait a little while.".

The highest and lowest recorded temperatures in Texas are more than 140 degrees apart. The record high, 120 degrees, was recorded in June 1936 in the town of Seymour (pop. 2,908) and in August 1994 in Monahans (pop. 6,821). The record low of 23 degrees below zero occurred in February 1899 in Tulia (pop. 5,117) and in February 1933 in Seminole (pop. 5,910).

Have lived in Texas for eons & have become acclimated to the unpredictable weather but do miss the change of seasons.

Mighty big state. Bigger than a lot of countries. Has a temperature range in excess of 140 degrees.

fcowell, Everyone in the US, a country roughly the size of the continent of Europe, uses the Fahrenheit scale. Get over yourself. Your faux, passive-aggressive shock is as ridiculous as if I pretended to be surprised by the way Brits spell favor, flavor, and behavior with a "u"!
