Hail damage in Dallas

[midnightblues]

The storms in TX come and go very fast, but it seams like hours when you in them.

In my experience, Dallas gets more wind and lightning than Houston.

And snow and ice.

Houston gets more rain.

USA Today:

Houston’s position near the Gulf means that humid marine air masses are more likely to influence its weather, while Dallas’s inland location makes drier continental air masses more likely to impact the weather there.

...in an average year, Dallas receives approximately 13 less inches of rainfall than does Houston. The time of year at which the rain tends to fall varies also – in Dallas, May is the wettest month and August is driest; in Houston, June is the rainiest month while March through May is the driest.

In general, Dallas experiences greater extremes in temperature — colder winters and hotter summers — than does Houston.

Dallas is generally windier than Houston, whereas Houston is typically more humid than Dallas. In terms of snow, Dallas averages an inch in each January and February, while Houston almost never receives measurable snowfall. Both cities occasionally feel the effects of severe weather, but coastal Houston is more likely to be influenced by tropical storms and hurricanes — such as Ike in 2008 — whereas supercell thunderstorms and tornadoes are more likely to strike the Dallas metropolitan area.

In sum, Dallas' weather is more interesting. And dangerous, I suppose, aside from the rare hurricane that affects Houston.

I do miss s the summer rains in Houston .The sky would get dark, than the temperature would drop 25 degrees in a few minutes, than came the wind and the rain.( horizontal rain due to the high winds) an hour later it would stop, the sun came out and nothing but humidity.

You actually miss humidity? I do anything to avoid it!

It's the rain I miss. the humidity is just a bi-product of the storm yeah that was hard to deal with it. One hell of a Outdoor sauna.

There is something about rain, isn't there? It refreshes, it invigorates -- it just changes everything, doesn't it?
