Weather by month
Houston
Texas
Subtropical and unapologetic: a long, heavy, wet summer, a winter that barely arrives, and a storm season you keep an eye on.
The best time to come
March and April are the good months — azaleas, crawfish, and air you can still walk through. November is the other one: cool, drier between systems, and past the worst of storm season.
