Interesting, I didn't know that Houston and Seville's weather were so similar
That's one of the reasons I picked this climate battle Although they are not identical, most of the averages are very similar. Rainfall, humidity and sunshine hours are the parameters that differ a lot.
I meant as in the record lows, Seville tends to stay milder than Houston in winter and is less prone to extreme cold
Houston has higher averages than Seville in the winter, but yes Houston is more prone to extreme cold shots though they also have higher record max temps than Seville during the winter months. Houston has higher maximum temperature records in 7 of the 12 months. Remember, it's harder for moisture laden air to reach extreme temp, which is why Seville has higher records during the summer months being a much drier climate.
Anyway I enjoy hot muggy summers and plenty of thunderstorm activity so my vote would be for Houston.

Both climates are too hot in summer for me, I would find 34C with humidity a bit too much (a humid 30C is fine though) and 36C dry heat would also be a bit uncomfortable with the added spikes up to 40C every now and then.
Both have pretty nice winters for my liking though and are pleasant outside of the 3 summer months.
In fact, after looking more closely, I would choose Seville from April-October and Houston from November-March for the chance of some real winter heat, as Seville has a pretty low standard deviation in winter.

There is a 7 degree latitude difference between the two.... So I am pretty impressed with Seville's averages (though I like my winters cold ). Is that city considered the hottest city in Europe?

Seville is regarded as being the 'furnace' of Europe as it is practically an extension of the Sahara during summer.
Nicosia probably feels worse though (36.9C/23.5C) (98.4F/74.3F) in July with humidity as it is on a small island. I doubt many people in Europe know it gets that hot there though. I didn't realise Cyprus averaged summers so hot before I joined this forum.
Seeing as both winters are mild, I would probably go for Houston in winter though for the chance of more exciting weather and even some heat.

I've been to Nicosia in July of 2001. Was VERY hot.... Though geographically Cyprus isn't really part of Europe. It's Asia.

It is considered to be the hottest city in summer in Europe . If you exclude Cyprus, other hot places include Córdoba, Spain
Slightly higher maximum highs in July and August than Seville:
