Best time to visit Corpus Christi

February is the best month in Corpus Christi, scoring 91 out of 100, with September the weakest at 47. The 44-point spread means timing is worth planning around without being decisive. 5 of the twelve months sit within ten points of the best, so there is more than one right answer.

August is the warmest month at 35 °C and January the coolest at 19.8 °C — a 15.2 °C spread across the year. 172 days a year top 30 °C, more than a third of the calendar, so heat is the baseline here rather than a season.

There is a real wet season here. September carries the rain — up to 14 wet days in a month — while January, February, March, April, November and December drop as low as 5. That 9-day gap is the biggest single difference between a good month and a bad one in Corpus Christi, and it moves further than the temperature does.

The sea is comfortable for swimming in April to December — 29.2 °C at its warmest against 19.2 °C at its coldest. The water peaks a month or two after the air does, so the best swimming falls later in the year than the best weather. Daylight runs from 10.4 hours in winter to 13.9 in summer, enough to notice on a sightseeing itinerary.

The three strongest months are February, December, November. The one to think twice about is September. Each month below has its own page with rainfall reliability, extremes, daylight, sea temperature and crowd levels.
