Houston’s climate is known for its hot, humid summers and mild winters. The city enjoys sunshine for a significant portion of the year, creating a generally comfortable environment. However, the proximity to the Gulf of Mexico means high humidity, often making the temperature feel hotter than it actually is. The average temperature ranges from 49°F (9°C) in winter to 90°F (32°C) in summer, with the warmest months being June, July, and August, and the coldest being December, January, and February. Annual rainfall averages around 39 inches.
While Houston usually boasts good air quality, industrial activities can sometimes impact it, particularly ozone levels during warmer months. Individuals with respiratory conditions should be mindful of this. It’s also important to remember that Houston is susceptible to natural disasters, most notably hurricanes and flooding due to its low-lying areas and proximity to the Gulf. While tornadoes are less frequent, they remain a possibility. Being prepared for any potential emergency is always a good idea.
So, enjoy your sunny Sunday in Houston! Remember to check back for updated weather information if your plans extend beyond Sunday. Stay safe and have fun!
