Tussenseizoen — een gewone maand

• Risico

  Mosquito season

  1 mei – 31 okt · meestalInsecten & ziekten

• Risico

  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. Bron ↗

  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. Bron ↗

  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. Bron ↗
