Texas Frost Dates

Texas has 474 NOAA weather stations with freeze records in the 1991–2020 climate normals. The typical last spring frost ranges from January 3 at Port Isabel to April 28 at Dalhart; at half the stations it has come by March 14. The first fall frost typically arrives between October 15 at Lipscomb and January 8 at Corpus Christi Nas, with a median of November 16.

The growing season between the typical frosts runs from 170 days at Dalhart 6 Sw to 365 days at Wfo Brownsville; 246 days at the median station.

At 1 station, NOAA records too few freezes to give a date: frost is rare there.

Every station in Texas

Typical dates have a 50% chance of a frost after them in spring, and before them in fall; safer dates, 10%. A garden can differ from its nearest station, especially in a valley or on a hillside: see why your garden may differ.

When is the last frost in Texas?

It depends on where you are. The typical last spring frost at Texas's NOAA stations ranges from January 3 to April 28, and half of them have had it by March 14. Enter your ZIP code above for the station nearest you.

When is the first frost in Texas?

Typically between October 15 and January 8, depending on the station; the median is November 16. Plan fall crops back from your own station's date.

What do "typical" and "safer" mean?

With the typical (50%) last-frost date, half of years still have a frost after it. With the safer (10%) date, only one year in ten does. In fall it's the other way around: the safer date is the earlier one.
