February 2025 Weather Wrap-Up: A Rollercoaster for San Antonio Residents

Oh, San Antonio! February 2025 was a month of dramatic temperature swings and some rather curious weather patterns. If you were in town, you likely noticed just how much things varied from day to day. Believe it or not, the month saw a whopping 16 days above average and 11 days below average — talk about keeping us on our toes!

Record-Breaking Days

This February wasn’t just about fluctuating temps; it also made its mark by breaking records! Out of the 28 days we experienced, four days set new temperature records. It sounds like our winter coat was either a blessing or a nuisance depending on when you wore it! As for rainfall, February turned out to be a tad stingy. We clocked in less than the expected average of 1.74 inches—not exactly a wet February by any stretch of the imagination.

Dry Times Ahead

With the lack of rainfall, dry conditions took center stage, prompting local authorities to reissue burn bans. Folks, if you were thinking of lighting up that backyard grill, keep an eye on those flames! The drought conditions got serious. By the end of February, updates from the drought monitor told a tale of expanding dry spells across the region.

Winter’s Final Hiccups

freezing drizzle and even a light dusting of snow late in the month. A winter weather advisory was even issued on February 24, warning residents about the potential for slippery roads due to the freezing conditions. Thankfully, any ice accumulation was expected to be light, mainly impacting areas north of San Antonio. You know, those little elevations that sometimes forget what warmth feels like.

What’s Next, San Antonio?

As February transitioned into March, predictions showed brighter weather ahead! Folks were looking at a weekend forecast that promised warm temps rising into the upper 70s and low 80s. Yay for early spring vibes! Historically, the last freeze in San Antonio tends to show up around February 24, according to a 30-year average. Yet, there are always surprises in weatherland; some years have seen freezing temperatures snagging the spotlight as late as mid-April!

Saying Goodbye to Freezing

For those nestled closer to the city center, winter’s icy grip may let go first, paving the way for a warmer season sooner than those in the higher elevations, such as Stone Oak and Boerne. So, keep your eyes peeled on the weather updates—after all, local forecasts suggest that the first part of March will be pretty warm and dry. Sounds like a perfect excuse to bring out that barbecue again, doesn’t it?

In Conclusion

And there you have it! February 2025 has been quite a whirlwind of weather here in San Antonio. A little freezing, a bit of record heat, and lots of dry days in between. The end of winter does seem near, with warmer temperatures just around the corner. So, gear up for those sunny days ahead. It’s almost time to embrace the joys of spring!
