What July feels like
The Gulf is as warm as a bath by now, which is lovely and does absolutely nothing to cool you down. Weekends bring all of Houston down I-45 and the seawall parking fills by mid-morning, so come on a weekday or head west past the developed beaches.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Most afternoons push past 90°.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 88° — bath-warm.
