  Mosquito season

  1. Mai – 31. Okt. · meistInsekten & Krankheiten

  Harris County runs one of the largest mosquito control operations in the country and still sprays by air after a wet week. Anything on a bayou trail or a patio needs repellent until the first front arrives. Quelle ↗

• Risiko

  Gulf coast heat and humidity

  Four months where the dew point does not drop and the heat index sits above forty most afternoons. The city is built to be crossed by car and air conditioning for a reason. Quelle ↗

• Risiko

  Atlantic hurricane season

  1. Juni – 30. Nov.

  The risk concentrates from mid-August into September. The bigger and more frequent problem here is not the wind but the rainfall: this is a flat city that floods on a stalled storm. Quelle ↗

  Houston Pride

  The parade runs downtown after dark at the end of June, which is the only sensible way to hold one here that month. Smith and Lamar close from the afternoon and the downtown hotels sell out. Quelle ↗
