Meanwhile, the southeastern parts, influenced by the Gulf of Mexico, continue to experience a maritime warmth with temperatures oscillating between 70°F during cooler periods and highs that can touch 95°F or more on particularly warm days.

May stands out as one of the rainiest months in Texas, particularly in the eastern part of the state. These rains, while ensuring continued greenery, also herald the beginning of the region's severe weather season, with the possibility of thunderstorms and even tornadoes. Yet, these phenomena predominantly impact the eastern region, leaving much of the rest of the state with sporadic spring showers.
