Fall and spring:
Might require long pants and a sweater, or a light rain-repellant jacket. The temperatures are very moderate with days of full sunshine and days of frontal passage rain. Due to the state's proximity to the Gulf of Mexico, these frontal passages still allow daytime highs of 50 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

Winter (months of December, January and February):
Colder, but only a parka-style coat would be needed on the coldest of afternoons. Average afternoon highs are 55 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit with near freezing to the low 40s in the early mornings. Frontal passage rain usually lasts on the average of 24 hours or less.

Summer (months of June, July and August):
Quite warm with daytime highs in the upper 90s Fahrenheit and nighttime lows in the upper 60s. Cotton clothing in the form of short pans and short-sleeve shirts are recommended. Most indoor attractions statewide are air-conditioned.
