The weather in Dallas offers a variety, and sometimes, this variety comes in the same week or even a 24 hour period. And this includes extremely cold weather which may have you wondering, just exactly how cold does it get in Dallas?
How Cold Does it Get in Dallas?
When we think of a typical cold Winter day here in Dallas, we think of 40 degree, chilly, rainy and gray days.
How long does the cold weather last in Dallas?
Typically between December to the end of February.
Sure, you could have a couple of these cold, rainy and gray days in October and even a few in March, April and even May. But those are few and far between.
In addition, be mindful that Texas weather is very versatile. So don’t be surprised if you have a few sunny 75 degrees in the middle of your January or February. Its not the norm but it does pop in every once in awhile and most Dallasites find it to be a refreshing change.
What was the record low temperature in Dallas?
What does your house need for the cold weather?
Some Winters can be quite long and brutal here.
You’ll want tons of blankets to snuggle in, a crockpot for lots of meals of hearty chili and a well-maintained fireplaces to crank up on those chilly nights.
To prepare the house, you might want to look at the door draft stopper, this perfect little space heater, or a super indulgent towel warmer.
What to wear in the Winter in Dallas?
Dallas is one of the most fashionable cities I have been to (not the burbs, Dallas proper). Dallas and the Dallas burbs have 2 very different personalities.
But I think no matter where you live in the Dallas metroplex, staying warm is an essential priority.
These pullovers have been extremely popular for both men, women and even children.
And this cute one for children ⤵️
However, when Dallas is in its Winter season, you’ll need more than just a pullover. You’ll want a good coat, with a hood, a scarf, gloves, a hat and even earmuffs. And some will even need long underwear underneath it all.
Everyone responds to the cold weather differently here.
When its 40 degrees out, you’ll still see some people in flip flops and some who look like they are ready to venture into the outback of Alaska.
Where to go in Dallas when its cold
If you bundle up just right, its a great time to explore the trails around Dallas such as Oak Cliff Nature Preserve, White Rock Lake or Harry Moss park.
If the outdoors is not your thing then you’ll find Northpark Center to provide respite, the Galleria for ice skating or the underground tunnels in Dallas.
