Port Arthur Weather & Climate

The Northern Gulf Coast of Texas, near the Louisiana border, the climate is humid subtropical. This region along the coast is actually located within the Piney Woods Region of eastern Texas. It receives the most rainfall in the state - more than 48 inches annually. This is due to the warm gulf waters that carry humid air to the region, where it condenses and precipitates. The area is also prone to hurricanes, the most disastrous of which was the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 as well as Hurricane Ike in 2008. Winters are mild due to the warm gulf currents. Wintry precipitation is possible, but rare. For instance, it snowed in the area in December, 2004 - the first occurrence since 1989. A light snow was also received in December, 2008 and again in December, 2009. This region is cited as one of the most polluted urban areas in the U.S.
