Local Weather and Climate

The Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex climate is humid subtropical with hot summers. It is also continental, characterized by a wide annual temperature range. Average annual precipitation also varies considerably, ranging from less than 28 to more than 48 inches.

Winters are mild, and often are accompanied by sudden drops in temperature. Periods of extreme cold that occasionally occur are short-lived, so that even in January mild weather occurs frequently.

The highest temperatures of summer are associated with fair skies, westerly winds and low humidities. Characteristically, hot spells in summer are broken into three-to-five day periods by thunderstorm activity. There are only a few nights each summer when the low temperature exceeds 80°F (27ºC). Summer daytime temperatures frequently exceed 100°F (38ºC). Air conditioners are recommended for maximum comfort indoors and while traveling via automobile.

The average length of the warm season (freeze-free period) is about 249 days. The average last occurrence of 32°F (0ºC) or below is mid March and the average first occurrence of 32°F or below is in late November.

The lists of Best Residential Real Estate Agents and Best Mortgage Professionals in Dallas are produced in partnership with Crescendo Business Services, an independent research firm. Crescendo mailed nomination ballots to 17,000 area residents who had recently purchased a home and 250 mortgage and title companies. Recipients were asked to nominate only mortgage broker professionals and real estate agents whom they know through personal experience and to evaluate them in several categories, including overall satisfaction and whether they would recommend them to a friend. Crescendo scored and screened each nominee with the Texas Real Estate Commission database to make certain that licenses were up to date and there had been no disciplinary action. The Best Real Estate Agents list was reviewed by a panel of local industry experts. The resulting lists represent slightly less than 3 percent of mortgage professionals and slightly less than 2 percent of licensed real estate agents in the Dallas area.
