Seasonal observation

Summer

The summer months in Houston tend to be very humid and warm, with occasional summer thunderstorms every other day. During the summer months, the daily high temperature peaks at 94 °F (34 °C) at the end of July with an average of 99 days per year above 90 °F (32 °C). The air tends to feel still and the humidity (averaging over 90 percent relative humidity in the morning in the summer and around 60 percent in the afternoon) results in a heat index higher than the actual temperature. Afternoon rains are common, and for most summer days Houston meteorologists predict at least some chance of rain. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Houston was 109 °F (43 °C) on September 4, 2000.

Heat strokes in unprotected persons can occur in the city during the summer months. Visitors to Houston tend to spend summer away from the city, venturing north in search of cooler temperatures.

Houston's heat and humidity has made air-conditioning an essential element in Houston's early survival. To cope with the heat, residents use air conditioning in their automobiles and in many city structures. Before the widespread availability of air-conditioning in the 1930s, Houston did very poorly in the business scene, barely leveling the population at 100,000. In 1933, when air-conditioning finally became widespread, Houston's population jumped to 300,000. Air conditioning is considered the stimulus for the growth of Houston in 1950 when it became the most air-conditioned city in the world. The 1950 census made Houston the 14th largest city in America with a population of 596,163. While air-conditioning is very popular in Houston, some residents have acclimated to the humidity and warm temperatures and feel that air-conditioning is only needed for the summer months alone.

Autumn

Autumn in Houston is fairly mild, with temperatures ranging from 79 °F during the day to 52 °F at night. Fall is seen by residents as a mix of summer and winter, because of the warm days in September and much cooler days in October.
