Farmer’s Almanac Predicts Texas’ 2024-25 Winter…

Winter in Texas is coming up, and the Farmer’s Almanac has made some predictions. For over 200 years, this popular book has given people an idea of what kind of winter to expect, and it’s back with more forecasts for the season ahead. Here's what it says about winter in Texas this year!

The Farmer’s Almanac is well-known for predicting the weather, especially for each season. In the past, farmers used it to figure out when to plant and harvest their crops, but today, many people enjoy reading it to see long-range weather predictions. Besides weather, the almanac also includes tips on gardening, fishing, moon phases, and fun facts for everyday life.

It uses a secret formula to predict the weather, looking at things like the moon’s movement, sunspots, and environmental patterns. While it’s not always 100% accurate, the almanac has a lot of loyal readers who trust its forecasts.

For most of Texas, the Farmer’s Almanac is predicting a warm winter with above-average temperatures. If you live in central or southern Texas, winter might feel like an extended fall—mild with not much cold or snow.

But not every part of Texas will have the same kind of winter. In far West Texas, the forecast calls for “cool and wet” conditions, meaning places like El Paso could see more rain and colder days than the rest of the state. In the Panhandle, temperatures may be a little colder than usual, and there could even be some snow.

Winter officially begins on Saturday, December 21, with the winter solstice. However, Texans may not notice much change until early 2024. The coldest weather is expected in January and February.

Overall, Texans should expect a mild and dry winter, but if you live in far West Texas or the Panhandle, you might want to stay prepared for colder and wetter conditions.
