What’s the Forecast for Trick-or-Treating in Texas?

As Halloween creeps closer, families across Texas are getting their plans in order. Parents are starting to wonder what kind of weather they’ll need to prepare for during their trick-or-treating adventures.

Whether you plan on sitting on your porch and passing out candy or making plans to stroll your neighborhood, it's important to plan accordingly.

Will it be a spooky night filled with chilly winds, or will the kiddos be sweating through their costumes as they go door to door in search of candy?

Halloween in Texas can be a real mixed bag.

Some years, the weather is perfect for strolling the neighborhood with a slight chill in the air, which most would say is the ideal trick-or-treating weather. But as we know, the weather can flip on a dime in the South.

Costume Tips For Halloween Night In Texas

Your best bet is to prepare for both warm and cool conditions just to be safe. If the temperature drops having layers handy that don't take away from your little ones costume is key because no one likes a shivering superhero or princess.

Now, if the night ends up warm and muggy, lightweight costumes are the best way to keep spirits high, and staying hydrated won't hurt either; after all, while we expect witches to melt, no one wants a melting vampire.

Let's just skip talking about how rain can make trick-or-treating extra tricky.
