Not feeling the true Texas heat just yet? Get ready because it's coming.

According to the Almanac's annual weather summary, the state will feel even warmer this spring and summer — how fun.... or not!

For the rest of April, things are pretty safe. You can expect warmer weather than normal, but not the feared Texas heat that begins at the end of May.

The Lone Star State's average temperature for April is 68.5 degrees F, which is 4 degrees above average in the north, and only 1degree above average in south Texas. In May, the heat will pick up, but the temperature is still averaging at 75 degrees, just 2 degrees warmer than usual.

Most days will be pleasant and sunny, with only a few thunderstorms sprinkled throughout the state.

For the rest of spring, "patio weather" is in full swing. You should be able to enjoy a cocktail —or two — at your favorite outdoor bar, or maybe cook some dinner to eat on the porch. Whatever it is, just enjoy outdoor activities while you can.

Every year the dreadful summer heat arrives in the Jumbo State; you know it when getting in the car feels like sitting in a molten-filled sauna, and sitting inside your air-conditioned home seems like the best thing to do. Sadly, this year it will be no different, and probably even worse, the Almanac says.

You'll feel the worst of the heat in late June, and then again from mid-July into mid-August.

The New Hampshire farm hasn't yet released more summer predictions, however, they do say to expect a tropical storm in mid-June.
