Local know-how pays off in Denton
Denton runs a humid subtropical climate: June through August highs sit in the low to mid 90s, annual rainfall is about 37.7 inches, and snow averages only 2.4 inches. Summer afternoons are the constraint and walks move to early morning and evening. Winters are mild enough to walk through, though North Texas ice storms occasionally shut a day down entirely.
When demand peaks
Two universities set the calendar. The University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University together enrol more than 45,000 students, so August move-in, May move-out and the winter break are the sharpest turnover weeks of the year and produce concentrated boarding demand. Summer family travel and the December holidays carry the rest.
