blkmex Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Ladies and Gentleman Boys and Girls Summer is gone.... well at least for another year. After 3 months of that 100 degree sun with hot humid sticky muggy air, the best part about fall is when you wake up in the morning step outside and feel that cool Northeast wind hit you and it's about 67 and when you look up it's no clouds and a blue sky. That's why I love Texas weather in San Diego its perfectly all year around and you cant really appreciate something's that's always there but here after breath taking heat in the summer, its always a beautiful thing when you feel that first cool breeze of fall. Enjoy it because I know I'm going to try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeightsGuy Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 You mean enjoy it while it lasts, right? It's not even October, my fall tomatos are just starting to set, it's a lil early to say bye to summer. Between the cool fronts that have thankfully started, we will still have a run of 90 degree days. I've gone trick or treating in 90+ weather many a time. In Houston, the coast usually isn't clear until after Nov 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 After 3 months of that 100 degree sun. We actually did real good this summer, and I don't think we ever broke above 100 ever. This was way nicer than last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, watch out for that "Global Warming" thing going on. I am actually gonna fire up the heater for my pool, and get it back up to 80*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bachanon Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 i'm anxious to see data on our "cooler than normal summer". maybe we've had a few really hot summers in a row and we're finally getting a break. i don't remember summers being so hot in the late nineteen seventies/early eighties as they have been since the late nineteen eighties and nineties. maybe i've become more acclimated to the heat due to being outside more often and living in a house that's more difficult to cool. this summer was completely bearable compared to the last fifteen summers or so. bring on the fall.

Other hot Houston summers include the following (the use of the word "hot" in this case is the number of days in which the temperature was 96 degrees or higher): there have been 14 other years since 1948 which had over 29 days of maximum temperatures 96 degrees are higher. The record was set in 1980 which had 78 days followed by 1993 with 49 days."(I was working a summer job at the Exxon Baytown Refinery in 1980. It was so hot that we could not stay on the roof longer than 20 minutes at a time, for fear of heatstroke. But, it was a dry heat.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marty Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Yea i remember 1980 my uncles came down from Fort Worth we went to Galveston and Freeport. I was only Five years old them but there is not a summer that goes by with out remembering that year. Being a roofer doesn't help ether. I say bring on the grey cloudy days.

KimberlySayWhat Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Marty:I say bring on the grey cloudy days. Eww, no. Bring on the sunny, not a cloud in the sky, light fabric long-sleeved, still able to pull off sandals but also ok to drink hot tea all day long days.

bachanon Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 in 1980 i lived at home with parents. the house is completely shaded and well insulated. the school i went to was also completely shaded and made of metal with no insulation. when the ac was on, it was really cool in the heat of summer. i do not remember being outside that summer. in '93, however, i was working in machine shops and lived in a not so shaded, not so well insulated apartment. i remember that year.i do not remember a summer, in recent years, as "cool" as this last one.

blkmex Posted October 3, 2006 Author Share Posted October 3, 2006 Well I guess so much for fall ......... it is fall right? I'm just asking because it is hot outside, like they say in Texas the only thing predictable about the weather is that's its unpredictable.

ssullivan Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Right now I'm working up in St. Paul, MN, where it really is fall. The trees are turning, the air is cool and crisp with a nice breeze... it's going to be hard to come back to the Texas heat tomorrow night. Fall is just about my favorite time of year, and unfortunately in Southeast Texas, it just means that the high is 85 instead of 95.Oh well. This time next year I'll probably be living someplace where the climate is more suitable to what I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houstonfella Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hey, when I got the state's largest daily newspaper this morning, it was nippy ---- around 65 deg. Supposed to be 59 early in the morning. Yay. Just don't get us into the 40s. We are a warm city type of thang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Marty Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I am MR Coldmiser i enjoy 4 days of 35 degree rainy weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstonfella Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I will tell ya, I HATE winter. Don't give me that 35 Degree stuff ... give me 66 and I'll be happy. Now if it is Christmas or New Year's, I'll take the 40s and use the fireplace. But the fewer times I have to do that, the happier I am. Walking the dog is not fun on a 33 degree morning .... oh noooooooooo. Winter in Houston, though, is just a minute. Winter in some parts of the Big State can be icy, cold and colder. Thanks for my tropical Houston where I suffer with humidity in the summer, but get to relax in winter with what we call "Sprall" - no winter, just spring and fall combined. I can do four or five days in the mid 30s, which what is what we have. Make some chili, tortilla soup and gumbo. P.S. I have so many beautiful bananas this year, I'll just give 'em away. They are the tropical setting in my backyard near the pool along with a huge Bottle Brush, Elephant Ears, Hummingbird Plants and Hibiscus. I love my back yard. It is truly heaven on earth.

KimberlySayWhat Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Nothing in the 30's please. Nothing below 70. Okay, 65 is fine. My least favorite article of clothing is having to wear a jacket. Something about wearing a jacket or coat makes me disoriented. I feel like I have a Muppet on my back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 Muppet on my back. It is supposed to have a high in the lower 70's by Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the total opposite -- I love cold weather, and can't stand our heat here. I really enjoy the change of seasons, but in Houston it seems like we have two seasons -- hot and hotter, with a couple of weeks of cool thrown scattered here and there in December, January, and February. Maybe it's something in the genes... both sides of my family come from much colder climates, so maybe I'm trapped in a body that's better adapted for life in a place where they have cold winters rather than a place where there is no winter but miserable summers that last more than six months.
