INFORMATION SHEET
DALLAS - FORT WORTH CLIMATE
Dallas/Fort Worth has a mild climate with plenty of sunshine! Extremes
are possible in the winter and summer, but the cold and hot spells
never last too long. In the spring and fall, warm sunshine can be
followed quickly by cool showers and just as quickly change back
again, so you may want to bring layers. Temperatures in February
range from lows in the mid-30's to highs near 60.
