<P> The Piney Woods is the eastern region of Texas and is within the humid subtropical climate zone . It receives the most rainfall ; more than 60 inches ( 1,500 mm ) annually in the far east. ( 1 ) This is due to the gulf currents that carry humid air to the region , where it condenses and precipitates out in the vicinity of sea breeze fronts as well as when extratropical cyclones move by . While coastal sections see the most cloudy days statewide and year - round , northern sections see the most clear days during the summer . The wettest months of the year are April and May . The area is prone to severe thunderstorms and tornadoes when the proper conditions exist , generally in the springtime . Hurricanes also strike the region , the most disastrous of which was the Galveston Hurricane of 1900 . More recently Hurricane Rita pummeled the Golden Triangle of southeast Texas . The higher humidity of the region amplifies the feeling of heat during the summer . During winter and spring along the immediate coast , temperatures are kept cool by relatively cool gulf waters . Dense advection fog can form when warm air moves over the cool shelf waters during February and March , stopping ship traffic for days . </P>
