After monumental tragedy and unexpected weather twists and turns, here are some of North Texas\u2019 most memorable weather days from 2025:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"body-text-header\">Snow and Freezing Temperatures<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Early in 2025, North Texans rejoiced at the arrival of fluffy white snowflakes. Over 2 inches of snow fell Jan. 9 at DFW International Airport, the official climate location for the region.<\/p>\n<p>D-FW Weather Wise<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__3beff secondaryRoman secondaryRoman-20 text-center text-gray-dark\">From snow to 100-degree heat, we&#8217;ve got you covered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dmnc_features-cta-social-article-cta-social-module__8MgJa flex flex-wrap text-gray-dark secondaryRoman secondaryRoman-10 text-center justify-center\">By signing up, you agree to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Every winter since 2019 has had at least one snow event, giving North Texans cause to hope that more flurries may be in our (near) future.<\/p>\n<p>Photos: See the snow in Dallas-Fort Worth<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The biggest temperature drop in a single day \u2014 a 42-degree fall \u2014 came a few days before the snow, on Jan. 5. The temperature fell consistently from 7 a.m. on, dropping from 67 all the way down to 25 degrees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">But despite the flurries and temperature fluctuations, early January actually didn\u2019t include the coldest days of 2025. That title went to Feb. 18-21, when the temperature didn\u2019t rise above freezing for almost 48 hours. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The coldest temperature of the year came on Feb. 20, when the low measured 12 degrees.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"body-text-header\">Mild Summer and Toasty Fall<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Across the summer, Dallas-Fort Worth wasn\u2019t as scorching as recent years have trained us to expect.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The monthly average highs for June, July and August were at least half a degree below normal. This summer also recorded only seven days in the triple digits, significantly lower than the record-breaking recent years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Most of those sparse 100-degree days arrived at the end of July or in mid-August, with the last instance on Sept. 4. The hottest day of the year came in at 104 degrees on July 31.<\/p>\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"aspect-ratio:190 \/ 127\" class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__2UraD flex-none object-cover dmnc_images-modern-image-module__QFaG- max-w-full h-auto text-white dmnc_images-modern-image-module__9Zlll bg-gray-light object-contain dmnc_images-modern-image-module__P3kZ4 w-full\" width=\"190\" height=\"127\" src=\"https:\/\/dmn-dallas-news-prod.cdn.arcpublishing.com\/resizer\/v2\/6IPMQ3SYXJH5RDJFAC3GGL7PHE.jpg?auth=02a4469d96be2e1d4f7cc26b76b539a3955b586c527cc7fa2bb10d2cde9f0357&#038;quality=80&#038;height=127&#038;width=190&#038;smart=true\" alt=\"Javier Jaimes dribbles his soccer ball across the Five Mile Creek pedestrian bridge as he...\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">But once the heat came, it stayed. The fall months were all hotter than normal, with the gap between usual and observed temperatures getting bigger as the months went on. November\u2019s average temperature was 73.4 degrees, almost seven degrees warmer than usual.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"body-text-header\">Rain<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Total rainfall in 2025 is just above normal for Dallas-Fort Worth, at 38.3 inches of precipitation. But it hasn\u2019t come down evenly. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Spring and fall are usually North Texas\u2019s wettest seasons, but this year they\u2019ve been both a bit wet and a bit dry. Several months, like March, September and December have been uncommonly dry, while April and November had unusually strong downpours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Measurable precipitation fell on 83 days at DFW Airport in 2025 (as of Dec. 24). The wettest of them was Nov. 20, when almost 4 inches of water came down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The longest stretch of days with no rain was from Sept. 25 to Oct. 17 \u2014 23 days of continued dry skies in total.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"body-text-header\">Hill Country Flooding<\/h2>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The most impactful weather event for North Texans this year didn\u2019t take place in North Texas. Over 100 people lost their lives when devastating flooding struck the Texas Hill Country, leading state leaders to reevaluate weather preparedness and emergency response. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">Among the victims were nearly 30 young girls and their counselors at Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">The flooding, which came in the early hours of July 4, was a confluence of weather patterns and geography. Storm clouds were stationary over the area for hours, dumping more water than usual for a summer thunderstorm. And once that rain fell, it traveled down the rocky and hilly terrain into the river system, instead of getting absorbed into the soil. <\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text-paragraph\">In two hours, the Guadalupe River rose over 30 feet. <\/p>\n<p>Related<\/p>\n<p><img style=\"aspect-ratio:190 \/ 127\" class=\"dmnc_features-article-body-embeds-related-story-module__2UraD flex-none object-cover dmnc_images-modern-image-module__QFaG- max-w\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Texas Weather in 2025: A Year of Extremes North Texas may have had a quieter weather year, but the state certainly did not.
