What should I know about Texas weather and emergency preparedness?

Texas is known for rapid weather changes and extreme weather events. The state can be affected by tropical storms and hurricanes during the hurricane season from June to November, as well as by severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, flooding, and flash floods that can occur with little warning throughout the year.

Swedes who are new to Texas are encouraged to stay informed about weather conditions, enable emergency alerts on their mobile phones, and have a plan for how their family should respond in the event of severe weather.
