South Padre Island has a semitropical climate. Mid-summer through September is the rainiest, most humid period, but even the August heat spells aren't half as bad as you might think. As far as weather's concerned, fall and spring are the optimum times to visit. Winter temperatures usually drop no lower than 40°F (5°C), and the hottest summer's day seldom tops 95°F (35°C), a lot cooler than the deserts of nearby New Mexico.
