Plan around the weather
Houston is most comfortable from late fall through spring. Summer heat and humidity turn outdoor plans into early-morning or late-evening work, while sudden rain can redraw a day quickly.

Before you go
Use the live details that matter

- Protect outdoor time for early morning or late evening in warm months, then use the Museum District as the smart heat or rain backup.
