Houston: The Concrete Jungle Where Winter is a Myth
Is it cold yet?
Ah, the age-old question that echoes through the streets of Houston every year. You know the drill: it's July, it's 100 degrees, and you're sweating more than a personal trainer after a spin class. And then you start to wonder: When in the name of all that is holy will this heatwave end?
The Elusive Houston Winter
Let's be honest, Houston's idea of winter is what most places consider a heatwave. It's like the universe has a cruel sense of humor and decided to bless everyone else with snowmen and hot chocolate while we're stuck here trying to figure out if our AC is working overtime or if we're actually melting.
But fear not, hopeful Houstonian! There is a light at the end of this sweltering tunnel. While we can't promise you a white Christmas (or any Christmas without sweating), we can offer you some cold hard truths:
- November is your best bet: This is when the mercury starts to think about dipping below 80. But don't get too excited, this is Houston we're talking about.
- Layers are your new best friend: Even if it's 70 degrees, you'll need that trusty hoodie for those chilly evenings.
- Embrace the indoor life: Libraries, malls, and movie theaters become your new hangout spots. Hey, at least you're saving on energy bills!
How to Survive the Houston Heat (Until Winter Comes)
- Hydrate like a camel: Water, water, and more water. And maybe a margarita or two for good measure.
- Dress for the occasion: Light, breezy clothes are your go-to. Unless you enjoy the feeling of being wrapped in cling film.
- Find your cool spot: Whether it's a pool, a frozen yogurt shop, or a shady spot under a tree, claim your territory.
