I just read that there are over 90 different languages spoken in Houston and has the largest Nigerian community in the U.S.
This part cracked me up:
- During the summer months, it is common for the temperature to reach over 90 °F (32 °C), with an average of 99 days per year above 90 °F (32 °C).[44][45] However, the humidity results in a heat index higher than the actual temperature. Summer mornings average over 90 percent relative humidity and approximately 60 percent in the afternoon.[46] The temperature in Houston during the summer is often similar to the average temperatures seen in tropical cities like Manila and Rio de Janeiro.[47] Winds are often light in the summer and offer little relief, except near the immediate coast.[48] To cope with the heat, people use air conditioning in nearly every vehicle and building in the city; in 1980 Houston was described as the "most air-conditioned place on earth".[49] Scattered afternoon thunderstorms are common in the summer. The hottest temperature ever recorded in Houston was 109 °F (43 °C) on September 4, 2000.[50
It cracks me up because when
tristaprez's husband , who is Filipino ,visited Houston for the first time, he asked, "God, what's the temperature here?" when we picked him up at the airport. I answered, "It's about 92 degrees today." He replied, "Man it is humid! It feels like the Philippines!" It was also funny considering the fact that he'd been living in Vegas for more than ten years.
