Many people like the Winter Texans, world class birdwatchers,
and spring breakers have discovered all the great things the RGV has to offer.
The warm weather in the RGV is a great escape from winter chills. The lower valley
can be more humid but it’s comfortable with a good breeze blowing in from the Gulf.
From December to March, the average high is about 70-80 degrees, with little rain
(average 1 inch per month). January is the coolest month with a normal minimum of
about 50 degrees.
The Rio Grande Valley is a prime birdwatching spot in the US. You will find abundant
waterbirds and shorebirds, many species of forest birds from Mexico, plus huge
numbers of small birds who stop here every spring to rest before continuing their
northward migration from Central and South America to northern Canada.
In addition, the National Wildlife Refuges, sanctuaries and other nature reserves in
the Valley support some endangered wild cats, such as the beautifully spotted ocelot
and the elusive jaguarundi. Bobcats are more common and can be seen in many
parks like Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge. Other subtropical critters to be seen
include colourful butterflies and small lizards.
