We know living in Texas it can get very hot; we easily see temperatures reach over 100 degrees state wide (regardless of what season it is). So it's no surprise that at least one Texas city has regarded one of the warmest cities all year round in the entire United States. If you've been to McAllen Texas, you'll be surprised to know that it's considered one of the warmest U.S. cities; hotter than some cities in other desert states like Nevada & Arizona.
