San Antonio Sizzles as February Heat Hits a Century Mark
San Antonio is buzzing with excitement after a remarkable turn of events on February 6, 2025. The city basked in a sultry 84 degrees, officially breaking a long-standing temperature record that has been untouched for a century! This new high soared past the previous record of 83 degrees, set way back in 1925, showcasing just how *extraordinary* this day really was.
Breaking Down the Numbers
The National Weather Service confirmed that this record-breaking temperature was recorded at 4:20 p.m., providing the perfect backdrop for a day that felt more like mid-May rather than early February. February typically measures in at an average high of about 65.4 degrees, so residents were in for quite a surprise. This season-defying warmth is not just a fluke; in the week leading up to this record day, San Antonio sweltered under consistent temperatures ranging from 76 to 85 degrees.
Warm Weather Trends
For those keeping score, the average high temperature for San Antonio so far this February has been a striking 80.4 degrees, and that’s a solid leap above the normal range. Areas southwest of the city even reported temperatures soaring above a sizzling 90 degrees on the same day, further adding to February’s unexpected charm. It’s fair to say this weather has had residents reaching for their summer attire a bit earlier than usual!
Mornings Are a Breeze
Even the mornings on February 6 started off toasty, kicking off in the mid-60s, which is a good 20 degrees warmer than the historical average for this date. As the day progressed, folks were anticipating afternoon temperatures to continue their climbing trajectory into the range of 82-84 degrees. And who wouldn’t prefer to enjoy such pleasant warmth while sipping iced tea or strolling through the park?
What Lies Ahead?
However, after indulging in this uncharacteristic warmth, residents should keep an eye on the weather forecasts. A cold front is expected to sweep through Texas starting on the night of Saturday into Sunday. While this front might stall in Central to North Texas, it looks like San Antonio will still hold on to its warm weather, keeping temperatures in the comfortable high 70s and low 80s at least into early next week.
But don’t unpack those winter coats just yet! Once this front moves past, temperatures are projected to slide back towards seasonal averages, bringing highs closer to the 60s for Monday and Tuesday. Not only that, but scattered showers and storms might make an appearance from Monday through Wednesday as the cold front approaches.
Forecasting a Chilly Shift
Weather watchers are predicting a potential drop to the upper 50s by Wednesday, thanks to a reinforcing shot of cool air that might sweep through. Although the National Blend of Models indicates that light rainfall could occur over the next week—likely in East Texas—cloudy days will stick around as the weather takes its time evolving.
Stay Updated!
As February continues, meteorologists are keeping a vigilant eye on the shifting patterns. With such dramatic temperature swings, it’s bound to be an interesting week ahead. Be sure to keep your rain gear handy and your sunglasses at the ready, because this February in San Antonio is shaping up to be anything but ordinary!
