Texas Leads With 6 of the Nation’s Hottest Cities

In case you didn't know, it's hot in Texas! A Texas summer can be pretty brutal; and summer hasn't even officially started! Depending on where you are in Texas, you'll have different heat experiences- in some parts it's a dry heat and in other parts, it's a humid-induced heat- either way, it's hot!

Texas just snagged six spots on the list of the top ten hottest cities in the entire country. It’s just confirming what we all already knew, we’re basically living inside a giant air fryer. Last year was the hottest summer ever recorded and 2025 is looking to top that.

According to Redfin’s latest list, Texas is absolutely on fire- and not just metaphorically. Cities like El Paso, San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston are seeing sky-high temps that don't seem to be cooling off anytime soon. For anyone who's lived through a Texas summer, it’s not surprising. We’re talking triple-digit heat, humidity that feels like you're wearing a wet blanket, and that special kind of asphalt-melting sun that has us all sprinting from our cars to the nearest air conditioning.

So who made the cut? Let’s take a look at the full lineup of the top ten hottest cities- and yes, Texas basically took over. If you live here, you already know: we don’t just bring the heat, we are the heat.

Now, I added El Paso as an honorable mention because, as it is my hometown, I've definitely experienced hotter than usual summers here, so I felt like it definitely needed to be added to the list!

Whether you’re born and raised here or one of the many new folks moving in, one thing’s for sure- Texas knows how to turn up the heat. Just remember: stay hydrated, find some shade, and embrace life in the Lone Star air fryer.
