Houston: The Concrete Jungle Where It Never Rains... Or Does It?
Houston, we have a problem (with the weather)
Let's talk about rain. Or, more accurately, the lack of rain in Houston. If you've ever been to this concrete jungle, you know what I'm talking about. It's like the weather gods have a personal vendetta against Houston, deciding to withhold precipitation as a form of cruel and unusual punishment.
When Did It Last Rain in Houston? A Million-Dollar Question
Trying to pinpoint the last time it rained in Houston is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Or, more accurately, like trying to find water in the Sahara. It's a quest worthy of Indiana Jones. Some say it was last Tuesday, others claim it was during the Ice Age. The truth is probably somewhere in between.
Houston's Love-Hate Relationship with Water
It's a strange paradox. Houston is surrounded by water – the Gulf of Mexico, to be exact. You'd think that would translate to ample rainfall, right? Wrong. The city seems to have a black hole-like ability to suck up all the moisture before it can even reach the ground.
So, When Will It Rain?
The short answer is: nobody knows. Weather forecasters are as clueless as the rest of us. They probably spend their days staring at radar screens, hoping for a single green dot to appear. But until then, Houston residents are left to fend for themselves, slathering on the sunscreen and praying for a cloudy day.
How to Survive the Houston Heat
- How to stay cool without AC: This is a test of human endurance. Invest in a good fan, wear as little clothing as possible, and embrace the sweat.
- How to conserve water: This is a no-brainer. Take shorter showers, reuse water, and consider installing a rain barrel (just kidding about that last one).
- How to find an oasis: Parks, libraries, and movie theaters are your new best friends.
- How to grow a cactus: This is the only plant that can survive Houston's climate.
- How to appreciate the sunshine: Look on the bright side! Vitamin D is essential for good health.
