Houston's Version of Winter: A Warm Hug
Let's be real: Houston's idea of "cold" is what most places would consider a pleasantly cool evening. Picture this: You bundle up in your favorite hoodie, only to realize you're sweating five minutes later. That's Houston winter for ya! But hey, at least we don't have to shovel snow. We'll take our mild winters, thank you very much.
When Does the Torture End?
Typically, Houston starts to feel a slight chill in the air around November. We're talking maybe a drop to the mid-70s. Don't get too excited; it's more of a "brisk" than a "brrr." The real deal cold usually kicks in during December, January, and February. But even then, it's relative. Think more "not as hot" than "freeze your buns off."
