And believe me, I have heard a lot of complaints about the Baltimore area in this forum and elsewhere.

Is there something that VIRAL had in mind?
How would you rank them, then?

Ok well NWS says its heat index is already 83 today at 7:12am Houston. Humidity is 90% and wind is listed as Calm. so I doubt that increasing to close to a feel of 100 in 2+ more hours is out of the question. I find Accuweather's index to be more accurate for my comfort levels, BTW.

A Houston/southern summer is far more comfortable than a winter up north.

Lol, you are so out of control. OK, lets just all agree we love Houston's pleasant temperatures and the air feels just great most of the time. And then tend to your Unicorns.

It feels like ass there, dude. Just admit it, you might get some rep points.

83 at anytime of the day is comfortable. To me. Also no, it still won't be 100 two hours later.

Really, so you keep your house or apartment at 83 degrees?? Weird. Heat index on NWS is now 96 and its not yet 9:30. yep sounds groovy.

No but I do open the window. There are breezes that occur in Houston if you didn't realize. 87 degrees with a heat index of 96. Still good to me. This is the hottest time of the year in Houston. It's August. It's the summer. This is expected this time of the year. What's the issue? Just like in January, Chicago can have temps where it feels like it's subzero. It's just as uncomfortable as 100 degrees but it's still expected that time of the year.

Oh I agree its expected. I just don't agree its at all enjoyable. the other poster was saying how so many people are actively enjoying the outdoors all day, every day from April to October in Houston, which is what set this discussion off. I think most of them are sitting in airconditioned cars or rooms most of the day, every day.

And yet still more comfortable than a winter in any of those other cities in this thread.

Trust me, people are out and about more often in a Houston summer than in a winter in any of those cities. Remember that even the hottest, most humid summer days give way to cooler evenings. Heaters are more needed in those cities during winter than A/C is needed in a Houston summer.

Combine that with mild winters (unlike all the other cities in this thread), then you see that Houston's climate is more conducive to the outdoors than all the other cities in this thread.
