Galveston, TX Overview

The City of Galveston is located on the upper Texas coast of the Gulf of Mexico, occupying a 32-mile long island just two miles off the mainland. Galveston Island has survived days of prosperity and massive devastation to endear itself as one of Texas’ most beautiful resort destinations. Magnificent homes in historic neighborhoods tell the tale of yesterday's wealth in this port city that was all but devastated with the great storm of 1900. Today, a massive seawall 16 feet high and 17 feet wide continues to protect real estate and residents from wind and sea. The presence of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston enriches the community with higher-education resources but also ensures state-of-the-art healthcare resources. Unique institutions of higher education include the Texas Maritime Academy and the Marine Biomedical Institute. The Strand National Historic District provides the community with a cultural, social, and entertainment center.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
