The Climate of Houston is classified as humid subtropical.
Houston's warmest month (on average) is July at 85 °F (I saw temperatures going up to 100 °F), and the coldest month being January at 54 °F (I was freezing at 30 °F).
Houston may sometime experience tropical cyclones during the hurricane season, which can bring significant damage to the city.
The last to hit was Hurricane Ike in 2008 (We all remember that one).
Houston is well-known for its polluted environment.
Harris County alone is home to 15 Environmental Protection Agency Superfund sites, more than any other area in Texas.
The list contains numerous companies, streets and waterways that have been considered dangerous to humans.
[27] The city suffers from smog quite often, and many of the city's bayous are coated with trash and other debris.
Since its founding, Houston has also seen rising temperatures, with new heat records occurring every year (Now that is not good...
is it?) Houston is well known for its oil and petrochemical industries, which are leading contributors to the city's economy.
The industries located along the ship channel, coupled with a growing population, have caused a considerable increase in air pollution for the city each year.
Houston has excessive ozone levels and is ranked among the most ozone-polluted cities in the United States (Now that is not something to be proud about).
Ground-level ozone, or smog, is Houston's predominant air pollution problem.
In 2000, Houston earned the title of "most polluted city in America" by its standards and was ordered by the federal government to clean up pollution by 2007.
Despite the crazy mood swings of Houston's climate a number of people migrate to Houston every year in search of jobs.
The warm, humid climate is a welcomed change for people moving to Houston from up North, where the cities are covered in snow for half the year.
Due to constant inflow of people into Houston, there is also a rising need to house them and provide them with the best accommodation.
