Local know-how pays off in McAllen
McAllen runs long, very hot and humid summers with brief, warm winters, and measurable snow has fallen only twice since 1941. From May through September the heat index climbs past 110 degrees, so walkers move almost everything to first light or after sunset, check pavement temperature with the back of a hand, and carry water on every route. The mild winter is the one stretch of the year when midday walks are comfortable.
When demand peaks
Winter Texan season runs roughly November through March and brings retirees who need daily walks and drop-ins while they are in town, which inverts the usual US pattern of a summer-only peak. Cross-border trade with Reynosa keeps weekday demand steady year round, and summer and the December holidays add the usual family-travel boarding.
