Mid October - Late December: perfect.

January - February: cold.

March - May: perfect.

June - September: misery.

Donald Trump will make Canada pay for it, though.

Bush Airport is a summer hot spot, it will see 100F, when everywhere else in Houston is mid-upper 90s. Bush Airport has reached 100F 4 times so far, yet Hobby has yet to do so. Even College Station, further inland than Bush, has less 100F days so far.

Bush Airport is colder during winter too, averages around 8-10 freezes, whereas Hobby averages less than 5. Bush has frozen at least once every year since it opened, while Hobby can be frostless (it was this past winter).

Again, this happens cause there is zilch protecting them and us from the Arctic, and no stable system such as a huge Bermuda High that would park itself offshore all winter long like the big bad Siberian High. Any stabilizing force would be soooo welcome in the East.
Yeah and it changes in Florida for some reason. Especially Central Florida down.
Tampa is 35 degrees warmer than Atlanta on average in January.... Atlanta is 21 degrees warmer than NYC on average in January. So Atl is closer to NYC temperature wise in the winter....crazy right?

The summers arent "bad" they are hell on earth.

January and February in Houston average 10 or more days at or above 70. Over 20 days at or above 60. All days of the month average above 50.

32F in mornings gives way to 65F in the afternoon. Not cold at all.

And that's reality and I can deal with that too. Chicago is the other end of the spectrum.

June-September - Pleasant with a little heat wave here and there.
September-November - Perfect
December-February - misery
March-May- Perfect

But still much better, on average, than in the rest of Texas, except Galveston Bay, Brazoria county, and the Golden Triangle.

According to wunderground, Bush Airport's seasonal low this past winter was exactly 32 F. Given how far inland it is, I expected lower.

So far this month, El Paso, and the Panhandle have gotten more rain than Brownsville has gotten since the end of June.

Brownsville is so ripped off, rainfall wise, it isn't even funny.
