Yeah of course, I wouldn't expect it to get that low all the time, but for the large standard deviation it probably does go lower than Seville each year. I would actually choose Houston in winter though, as I would quite like a winter with wild swings and the chance of heat.
You sure about that? Like I said, yesterday I left the house with temps in the 60's and when I returned it was windy, raining and 40'sF. That is nothing compared to what it can do in January lol. I prefer more stable temps like the UK gets in winter.
For Seville (San Pablo) these are some months I found:
July 2010: 37.7C/22.8C
July 2006: 37.8C/22.1C
A few really horrible days during these months.. 11th July 2006 had a max of 43.6C and a minimum of 27.8C
End of July - start of August 2003 had 16 days in a row of highs above 40C and lows at 24C or above including two consecutive days that were 42C/27C and 44C/25C
I sure feel sorry for those without a/c in Seville!
Good finds 2003 and 2006 summers were quite brutal overall in Europe. I think London saw one of its hottest July's in 2006

Our winters suck so much that I would rather have some wild variation, as 8C and cloudy most days without the possibility of getting any real warmth is just boring. A few nice warm days above 20C each winter to keep me sane would be a small price to pay for the equivalent few days that would be well below 0C.
In the case of both of these climates, they have pleasant and mild winters, but the chance for getting some days well above 20C puts Houston slightly ahead for me.

The highest average high for July in Seville was 38.5C and 38.0C for August.

There were 13 +40C days in that July month (1994) according to TuTiempo
Wow that is just too hot for my liking! Bet that they absolutely loved that month

41 out of 90 winter days in Houston are above or at 20C. Almost half. As far as 24C, they average only 19 days in winter with those max temps. The average annual maximum temp reached each winter is 80F in December and February, and 78F in January. So each year on avg reaches those temps. Of course some years you won't and others you will exceed that. The max Jan temp over the last 30 years was 82F in January, and 87F in February.

So basically Houston would reach 24C 19 times each winter, which is about the record high for December and January in Seville.. so I think Houston would be better for winter. The summers are easily better in Seville though, 34C with humidity would not be nice.
I think Houston would feel the same as Jacksonville.
Probably, but Jax has a higher chance of cooling thunderstorms. Besides extreme heat, too few rain days in summer is my main problem in Houston. Although still a rainforest compared to Seville.
