Weather in Houston

I would like to preface this by stating that the weather here in houston is strange to me. I can't understand it.

First, let me tell you how I grew up. Weather came in from the west and north (canada). If it was really hot for a few days, a front would come it, and it would storm, and then be cool for a few days and then warm up. The temp between night and day would change pretty drastically. It could be 90 in the day, but drop to 65 at night. Regardless, the weather changed, it varied.

Houston is a crazy different ball game. The weather this week actually has a lot of diversity, the daily highs range from 35 degrees to 36 degrees. OMG! (Like 94-98 F). Huge variation. The temp only changes about 1 degree a week. It is amazingly constant. Every single day - sunny, humid, hot. Sometimes it rains in the evening. But... We don't get fronts. Its strange. Houston is such a big city that there is actually different weather for different parts of the city. I remember driving into downtown, and I saw no rain... and all of a sudden all the roads were totally soaked, like there was a huge hurricane downpour. When I drove back to my side of town... The ground was super dry, there had been no rain.

Another anomaly i've noticed is that when it rains... it will thunderstorm for about 5 days in a row, just a few hours every day. And then it will stop, and will be warm without rain for 10 days. Its weird. If the weather up north has the personality of a punk rocker, Houston weather is a Barbie.

Honestly... I'm enjoying the weather a lot. I love the heat. I love it. Maybe its just because I was so damn cold all winter long living on my modified porch in a house with little heat turned on (save the environment, and money!). I don't mind living in the cold, but going to a place where its hot all the time is fabulous. I don't sunburn either, which is cool. Only downside? All the buildings set the AC on like 60 degrees all the time, so most women wear heavy jackets everywhere (so stupid). I have to say, Texas does not conserve energy, recycle, they serve everything in Styrofoam and don't give a shit about the environment. But the weather is nice.

Enjoy the sun!
