• Risco

  Mosquito season

  1 Mai – 31 Out · normalmenteInsetos e doenças

  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. Fonte ↗

• Risco

  Gulf coast heat and humidity

  20 Mai – 25 Set · normalmenteCalor extremo

  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. Fonte ↗

Lotação máxima — Houston Pride, Summer break em Estados Unidos

• Risco

  Atlantic hurricane season

  1 Jun – 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. Fonte ↗

• Festival

  Houston Pride

  20–30 Jun · normalmenteLotado

  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. Fonte ↗

  Christmas Day and New Year's Day are federal holidays: on 25 December most shops, museums and many restaurants close, and airports stay busy through the week between as families travel. New Year's Eve fills bars and restaurants, many at set-menu prices. Fonte ↗
