Chicago is way too cold in the winter and too hot and humid in the summer. Houston looks like it has nice writers but summers are even hotter, longer, and even more humid. Both climates get an F from me, but I guess I'll pick Houston because of the pleasant winters (and, yay for air conditioning).

Easily Chicago, despite its summers still too hot for me.

Houston any time. No pathetically cold winters to suffer through.

I choose Houston. It's better 9 month out of the year.

I've been to Houston in the summer. Some would say that you can't go out during the summer


Average max dew point is 24C in the summer. So the average daily maximum heat index in the summer is 41C.

Chicago without a doubt. I prefer a continental 4 seasons climate.
