Alvin, TX Overview

Convenient to both Houston and Galveston, Alvin and the neighboring small city of Manvel share a chamber of commerce and a heritage that included raising cattle and farming.  The oil that was discovered in the 1930s in Brazoria County still plays an integral role in the local economy.  Growth and development steadily continues, although residents manage to harmonize progress with a reverence for the past.  Alvin is renovating many of the treasured buildings from yesterday, transforming them into new business establishments.  Throughout the area, newer construction blends with lovely older homes shaded by mature greenery.  Abundant opportunities for recreation and entertainment include the Bayou Wildlife Park, Shimek Gardens, Alvin Opry, Texas Thunder Speedway, Froberg Farms, and area golf courses.  Alvin Community College enriches the entire region with educational, cultural, and recreational advantages.

Climate and Weather

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
