Houston: A Love-Hate Relationship with the Weather
Houston, Texas: The city where it's always something. If it's not the traffic, it’s the humidity. And if it’s not the humidity, it's the question of when the heck the weather will actually decide to warm up.
Is Summer Ever Coming?
I mean, we get it, Houston. You’re trying to build character or something. But can we maybe skip the whole "arctic tundra in July" phase? It’s like Mother Nature has a personal vendetta against flip-flops and tank tops. We’re starting to think she’s a closet fan of sweaters.
The Science (or Lack Thereof) Behind the Cold Snap
Now, I’m no meteorologist, but even I know that something’s off. Polar vortex? El Niño? La Niña? It's like the weather is having an identity crisis. And we’re the ones stuck in the middle, shivering in our own city.
So, When Will It Warm Up?
Ah, the million-dollar question. The answer? Your guess is as good as mine. We’ve tried everything: sacrifices to the weather gods, consulting ancient Mayan calendars, even asking Alexa to intervene. Nothing seems to work.
But fear not, Houstonian! There’s always hope. Maybe next week? Or the week after that? Or...well, you get the idea. Until then, we'll just keep layering up, dreaming of beach days, and hoping that global warming will finally kick in.
