Houston girl đ€Howdy! When you visit TX, visit Houston in the spring so you can go to Rodeo or if you go to Dallas, go in late summer/ early fall so you can catch the State Fair. Both are great, and have more food than you could possibly ever eat! Would love to see some video reactions of Rodeo Houston (HLSR) and/or the Texas State Fair â€
Iâve suggested the HLSR on another video, glad to see someone else from here recommend it, too! đ The state fair is a good idea, too!
Will you be vlogging your trip to the US? I think it would be really cool to get your perspective on the cities you visit, the food, the culture and just the sights you see.
We use what is called the "heat index" to describe how the air truly feels. Climate control engineers call it "enthalpy". It combines true air temperature, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, and to some extent, air quality.
With all those factors, a day which is already hot (38-39°C) might feel more like 45°C, or even warmer.
Particularly in Houston, the weather can remain that warm for months at a stretch.
Exactly. I could tell you it gets to 38C every summer but that doesn't tell you how hot it actually feels. It feels hotter than that. Lived in Houston for 40 years. SO glad to not be there any more. It did get to 48C in 2012 but that was very unusual. And the air was dry, which is also very unusual.
@@galanie that was the summer I moved back to Houston đđ god that year was horrible. October was still hitting 95°
I have lived in Texas for over 30 years. I live outside of Dallas for reasons, mostly because even though I hate the cold, I hate Houston's humidity much, MUCH more -- if I wanted to live in that kind of humidity, I'd move to Thailand.....Also -- the 2nd largest city is San Antonio; apologies if that was already mentioned.
If you are going to do Dallas, don't forget about Fort Worth. Smaller city, but lots of history. You could do a Dallas-Houston-San Antonio holiday if you have over a week. I personally think San Antonio is a cannot miss. I would do it over Houston, but even though Texas is so big, you could probably do all 3 in about 10 days as long as you are organized, or if you fly instead of drive. There are shuttle services between Houston and Dallas that you can do out of Love Field in Dallas which is right in the city. Very easy airport.
Child who doesnât forget about Fort Worth? đ đ đż
There is no video like this for Fort Worth comparing it to another.
We always get this treatment.
The first word spoken from the moon's surface was, " Houston"
And let's not forget "Houston we have a problem" .
Houston high temps in summer are typically mid- to upper- 90s (F), but 100+ is not unusual. Dallas will often have higher summer temps. The difference maker is humidity in Houston will slap you down fast, making the summer âfeels likeâ temps much hotter. Summer heat will last from June-September on average, but itâs not unheard of to have temps in the 80âs in Houston around Christmas time. False seems to have a better spread of the four seasons.
OhâŠand that food you saw was Tex-Mex chicken and beef fajitas.
Fajitas are a sort of "build your own burrito" type of meal, with flank steak strips or chicken, that has been grilled with a mixture of onions and peppers. This mixture is served with flour tortillas (usually warmed up), and often accompanied with Spanish or Mexican style style rice.
Aside from beef brisket, fajitas have to be one of the most iconic Texas meals, and are freaking delicious!
What you are looking at is the "Texaplex" - the triangle made up of DFW-San Antonio/Austin-Houston. That area is (generally, although not totally) the center of population and urbanization in Texas, since it was the earliest settled. The other half of the state is where you will find more of the wide open spaces -- working cowboys, cattle, oil wells, desert and prairie - foreigners typically have in mind when they think of Texas. The King Ranch in south Texas is 825,000 acres, larger than the state of Rhode Island.
I am a Dallas resident and a few years ago we had 100 days over 38 degrees Celsius in a row. That is about the average daily temperature during the summer. Anywhere from 90 degrees Fahrenheit to 105 degrees Fahrenheit
I live in San Antonio. Our home is 4200 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, office, 3 car garage. We paid $268k almost 8 years ago. Itâs in the Stone Oak area, itâs a nice part of town.
Also, when you go to visit, these are the two cities you absolutely MUST visit: San Antonio is the best city to visit for historical/Tejano cultural tourism and Austin is crazy awesome for its culture, art, music, and general lifestyle attractions. Houston and Dallas are really geared more to industry and commerce, not so much for tourism/visitors.
This video also forgot to mention that Houstonhas the widest highway in the world - 26 lanes at its widest!
I completely disagree⊠Houston has over 150 museums, a thriving arts district, natural wildlife reserves and food from pretty much every country around the world! There is so much to do here itâd take at least a week of non stop excursions to even see half of it all! âïž
No one cares about Austin.
There's nothing to offer in Austin..but 2 malls and a Bridge.
Dallas has over 200 Museums, 4 botanical gardens, 2 zoos, over 300 parks, 13 malls 5 live 24 hour districts, Better food variety and options.
I have lived in greater Houston 40 years. It bugs me when tourists want to see a cowboy. I was a member of space center Houston and there are people from all over the world there. Note that the pandemic has changed things somewhat like prices and places being open. Sometimes an internet search is wrong. Call ahead.
I live in Austin and it gets over 100 degrees for weeks but the heat index feels like 110 degrees. Texas gets đ„” Hot in the summer.
I live in Austin, too. I'm so grateful for highs in the 80s currently. This summer was brutal.
My brother lives in Houston. I never visit in summer. A former boss went there for a conference. She said she was drenched in sweat when walking outside for a couple of minutes in July. Humidity is unbearable, or so I've heard. A four-bedroom, 3.5-bath house in a decent (not great) neighborhood in Houston costs around $400,000. Although Texas does not levy state income tax, the state's property taxes are pretty high.
Idk where in Houston your brother lives but Iâve lived here over 50 yrs and thatâs not my experience at all. In fact, I had a home that was 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 4,200 sq ft, double lot and paid $352,000 for it. đ€·ââïž
@@ItsMeAnn628 He lives near the NRG Stadium and his is a garden home with inches of space between neighbors. His 3-bd/2.5 ba 1900-sq-ft house is currently valued in the low 300s. My understanding is that his house is below average in size by Texas standards. That's how I derived the 400k guestimate.
Define "Nice". A "Small" 3 bedroom house - which, typically. will also have 2 -3 full bathrooms is around 1400 - 1500 square feet (130-140 square meters) - whereas a "larger" 3 bedroom house
can be twice that size. So I would say the range in a "Nice" Neighborhood would be in the $250,000 - $550,000 range depending on Square footage, location, lot size, and amenities.
Certain areas are ridiculously expensive, like Highland Park.
I grew up in a suburb east of Dallas called Mesquite which is mostly known for the Mesquite Rodeo. While Dallas is part of the Tornado alley, tornados do not typically last long and does a fairly limited area of damage, whereas hurricanes affect a much larger area. I have lived in the north east Texas my whole life. I am nearly 60 yo and have only seen 1 Tornado with my own eyes in that entire time.
As for heat, the worst year I recall was 1980 when we had over 3 months of 100+ degree days. This summer I don't know that we even hit 100 but maybe once or twice. That usually occurs between July and early September. Fall and spring in NE Texas is very nice and we often have weeks on end of very nice weather between the mid 60's to low 80's.
Houston is like living in a sauna because it is so humid and the heat makes it feel even worse. But has a more temperate climate in winter. Whereas Dallas can get rather cold. In fact this last February was the longest coldest winter weather I can remember. We had snow on the ground for 2 to 3 weeks. It was miserable.
What is interesting to me though, is Galveston is about 50 miles south of Houston right on the Gulf of Mexico. It can be 100+ degrees in Houston, but it will be a nice 85 degrees in Galveston with a cool breeze coming off the Gulf.
Dallas highway is called the âMix Masterâ. It scares the crap outta me every time I drive it. I love both cities but Iâm biased cause Iâm from Dallas. The Dallas Cowboys are the best NFL team in America, Houston has the best food in America. I love my home state. Both cities are magical in my opinion!
Iâm from Houston but the Cowboys have always been my favorite! đ
That moniker has changed. You used to have the Ft Worth Mix Master and that was at the interchange of I-30 and I-35W. That was truly horrible, thankfully it has been redone. Dallas traffic reporters started using the Mix Master language later on. The only interesting interchange left in Dallas is the one at I-30 and I-35E on the south side of down town Dallas. The high five interchange at 75 and I-635 is a much nicer interchange. Man I have been around this town for too long.
Both Dallas and Houston have their ups and downs. I have lived in both and I prefer the climate in Dallas but like the Gulf access of Houston. I don't know if Kabir truly understands how large the metro areas actually are.
@@kencramer1697 My cousin from Cedar Hill used to call it âthe concrete orgy.â Lol
I was born in Dallas in August in pre-air conditioning 1951, and the summer of 1980 is the hottest I've experienced. It still holds the record for most consecutive days of 100+ temps.
If you visit Texas you gotta try Whataburger!
If you were picking one or the other to do on holiday, I would say do Dallas. As it mentioned, it is part of the larger Metroplex. Dallas and Fort Worth are very different environments from one another though practically adjoined geographically; Dallas has what I would call a more flashy metropolitan high society feel of a financial center whereas Ft. Worth has more of a money from oil and cattle vibe. Then you add in places like Arlington right between them with sports and amusement parks and a plethora of active suburbs you can find it hard to figure out how to find enough time to squeeze in everything you would want to do. Whatever your mood is from one day to the next, there is something you can do to match it.
Kabir, Iâve read some of the comments and the are mostly spot on. To say that it is hot here during the summer doesnât seem like enough of a warning for you. During any given summer in Dallas, it can be 100+ degrees for multiple days in a row. Lately I have seen a day or two at 110+ (43.33 degrees C). In the Dallas area you could probably get a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath home for $400,000 to $450,000 (in the northern suburbs). Crime is low and schools are very good so there are a lot of people moving here. The Houston are has some very similar nice areas, but most are north of the city and require a long commute. Traffic is horrendous in both cities, but I think a bit worse in Houston.
Yes. Oil and natural gas is one of our largest industries. Though most of that comes from West Texas in the Permian basin near Midland and Odessa.
Thereâs a lot in East Texas, as well. My family has owned large amounts of property (used to own a paper mill) for over 100 yrs and most has oil or natural gas on it⊠some salt mines too if you go a bit into Louisiana.
Texas is actually considered to be the Saudi Arabia of natural gas!
The best time to come to Texas is early spring like March or April.....you get to see the Bluebonnets and if you come to Houston you can go to the Rodeo
The hottest Iâve ever experienced in the summer in Dallas my entire life is about 111, it wonât regularly be that hot during the summer but do expect it to get about about 97 degrees or higher
As a native Dallasite, I would, of course, say come to Dallas. My fellow Texans in Houston might say otherwise...But, I'm sure Houstonians would agree: DON'T COME IN THE SUMMER!!! "Summer" is between late April and mid-October. Temps here and in Houston can easily reach and surpass 40°C (100°F), and that is for most of the "Summer". The Fall is nice, the Winter is mild (for the most part), and the Spring can be nice (before tornado, hurricane, and hail season start).
Lived in Houston many years. I say go to San Antonio, don't bother with either Dallas or Houston.
Native Houstonian, I wouldn't go to either. I drove in Dallas recently and loathed it. I vote Austin over either.
@@paigeharrison3909 agreed.
San Antonio is the 2nd largest city in Texas. I suspect that Houston outranks Dallas mainly because it is the center of the oil industry. If memory serves me correctly, only New York and London are in the top rank.
@Stephen Caleb Then why was Houston given a higher rating?
With out the Military Bases San Antonio would be well below both Dallas, and Houston, but it has them so they count. đ
@Stephen Caleb Genius⊠the GaWC is published every 2 years, in even numbered years. The 2020 GaWC has both at Beta +. There is no âWorld According to GaWC 2021â. Nice try, though!!
@Stephen Caleb I guess the educated one knows that itâs only published in even numbered years.
@Stephen Caleb Well, good luck finding a GaWC city classification list for 2021. Iâm happy to agree to disagree.
Summer temps can start in April and last through mid-November. And I can actually remember swimming at the lake on Christmas Day one year. Given a choice, Iâd take Dallas as the humidity tends to be lower there. But, honestly? Go to Austin or even San Antonio. Better yet, go try your luck eating a 72oz steak in Amarillo. And stop by here and say âhi.â Weâll treat you to the best Texas barbecue youâll ever eat!
Which city you visit depends on your interests. Actually, San Antonio is considered by many a better tourist destination than either Houston or Dallas, if you are looking for Texas history, Tex-Mex food and touristy things to do. If you are into space, Houston is it. Cowboy culture, Dallas-Fort Worth. Houston is near the Galveston beaches. Dallas is cooler and less humid if you come in the summer (and a lower chance of hurricanes). Both have a variety of performing and visual arts , museums and restaurants, but depending what you are looking for you might pick one city over the other. Dallas is great at the higher end places, but Houston has more folk art, and greater depth in restaurant choices, from fine dining to mom-and-pop neighborhood places.
Oddly enough Dallas has more restaurant options than Houston does
I worked at Bush Airport (IAH) for 3 years In Houston and cause it's Tarmac. The hottest days is July and August and everyday is over 100 degrees. The sun bounces off the Tarmac makes it worse. Also each winter can be different. We recently had in 2021 the first real snow storm in Texas. Like I'm from NJ, and 2021 in February was closest we had to real snow storms down here in Houston lol
The hottest it was this year in my part of Houston was 41°C. Calculating with heat index, the temperature feels more like 48°C on a hot summer day. The average summer day is 37-38°C, with heat index being more like 42°C.
San Antonio is the second-largest city in Texas.
Typical hot days in Dallas and Houston would be 37-43C in the summer. Streaks of 100F temps in the summer are common. And, yeah, Houston is more humid, making it worse. During the summer you just stay indoors as much as possible. The summers are just absolutely brutal and oppressive, and they linger. We start getting into the 80sF consistently around October and it's a relief. But cooler temps usually don't arrive until the new year and only briefly. Though at times they can be severe and devastating, e.g. February 2021. And, any Texan bragging about how they endure the heat, ignore them. They endure the heat with air conditioning. There is no place in the South that doesn't have air conditioning.
Austin is also a good place to visit. They have great BBQ and they have the F1 US Grand Prix at The Circuit of the Americas (I think it's usually in October, however).
I love seeing you react to Texas stuff, you should check out the bats under the Congress Ave bridge in Austin.
Yes, one if the highlights of my life. Also saw the bats streaming from Carlsbad Caverns. Austin is a great city to visit.
Easiest way to describe the heat.
Because of the humidity..
1. there is no temperature difference between sunny and shady areas
2. It can still be above 95 deg at 3 am
3. it can make it hard to breathe (people often have to acclimate)
But...
1. there is a/c everywhere..homes, cars, businesses, everywhere!
2. doesn't last all year long..you can survive without a/c, from 30-60 days a year
3. you can test your resistance to brain damage, by being outside, the rest of the time.
(You can spot those that have succumbed to this - they're the ones outside.)
Open Heart Surgeon Dr DeBakey worked in Houston. He was an interesting guy. I met and exchanged some words with him in the 1980s.
And don't forget Dr. Red Duke!!! đ€Ź
@@danajohnson4757 Never got to meet him.
I lived in Houston in the late 60s. In the summer there was a competition between humidity and temperature to see which would reach 100...! The good thing was I could use the pool until November.
Well I live in DFW. Hot in summer high 90s to low 100s °F in the summer. Same in Houston with more humidity which is absolute murder. Traffic sucks but during certain points its easy to move around after the morning rush and before the afternoon rush. Food is great in both areas as are the sights. Cost of living is about the same 350k typically a great new area or well kept older neighborhoods. You can't go wrong with either area. Spent lots of time in Houston before my grandparents passed away a few years ago. Just remember your GPS and prepare to drive very fast or very very slow.
I live in Houston, I stay inside during the summer⊠Homes and apartments have A/C. I have central air, so I donât even feel the heat. The only time I feel the heat is walking from my car to a building.
So I grew up in Houston but live in DFW now. Houston is always my heart, itâs just where youâre from, right? A 5 bedroom house is massive. Most are 3 bed 2 bath 2 car garage and are about 2,400 square feet and would range from $300,000 to $425,000. A 5 bedroom house in DFW (nice area) would be about 3800 square feet and would be around $700,000 to 1+Mil USD. Dallasites look down their nose at Houstonians usually saying âugh, Houston is too humid.â Houstonians have plenty to be proud of. BTW. Texas is the 9th largest GDPâŠin the world, Yeah, love Texas!
Dallas does what to Houston?
đđđ Dallasites don't give Houston the time of day
I live outside Houston, northeast. Houston really isn't what I would call a tourist town, but would still be cool for you to see. And yes, our medical center is awesome!!! When my oldest daughter was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 10 1/2 yrs in March 2000, I felt blessed that we were close enough to make use of the diabetes clinic in The Medical Centet at Texas Children's Hospital.
The Texas Medical Center, also developed Corbevax, a no-patent Covid vaccine funded entirely by charitable foundations and a small investment by Indian drug companies. Mad props to Elana Botazzi and Peter Hotez.
Same northeast Houston. I believe Houston Medical complex is the largest in the world if I'm not wrong
Summer of 2019 Dallas got to 115 heat index, but Houston has more hurricanes which cause many tornadoes over several days, while tornadoes in the Dallas may be from a passing storm. I live in Fort Worth.
In fact the Walker Texas Ranger clip is from a mall a few miles from where I grew up.
The Dallas Cowboys actually play in Arlington across the street from the Rangers after the city declared imminent domain and bulldozed an entire residential neighborhood.
San Antonio is the 2nd largest city in our great state. Which is great place to visit! Austin is too! Iâve been to Dallas quite a few times as well. Itâs another great city to visit! When visiting Texas you are going to eat quite well! Weâve got amazing restaurants here! Tex-Mex, BBQ, seafood simply the best! As far as heat goes⊠here in Houston, this week weâve been running between 100-105 degrees. And that is the actual temp not the âfeels likeâ temp. We have STUPID HUMIDITY here!!! You learn very quickly to hate our humidity here in H-Town.
It's always cute to read the comments and see Texans respond about the heat in their state.
They should visit Orlando, Atlanta, Mississippi Delta and New Orleans.
They think it's hot in Texas. *Bless their hearts.*
BTW, forget about the humidity, learn about the dew point.
Umm..East Texas has the same humidity...its West Texas (the region not the city) that's dry
I think itâs hilarious when people NOT from Texas try to compareâŠ.
Do you really think we havenât traveled to those places? I mean really?!
I have. No comparison. Itâs effin HOT in Texas. Dry heat in the west, same swampy heat as the rest of the Gulf in the east.
I hope you know East Texas is just as hot as all those places
As someone who lives in DFW, a typical summer temperature may reach anywhere from 93-100F with anywhere from 35%-75% humidity making it feel 30+ degrees hotter than the actual temperature.
Houston has an elaborate 6 miles of underground tunnels downtown because of how unbearable the summer weather becomes
Besides being best in Oil, Houston has the best medical/Hospitals in the the USA. We have the top cancer treatment centers. My father worked Head IT for oil and medical companies and currently for Houston Methodist hospital
I live just north of Houston for the last 22 years. It has alot of great areas and things to do. We have only in recent years begun to experience a real spring and autumn here. It is sooo hot during summer, basically April- October. We are finally cooling down now. Next week we'll be in the low 80s again. If you come to Houston in the Spring, the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo is an annual 3 week event with a huge cookoff at the beginning. It is the first 3 weeks of March in 2022. So you could go to New Orleans for Mardi Gras then come to the rodeo after! Galveston also does Mardi Gras, but nothing like New Orleans.
I've lived in the Dallas area for about 11 years now and the summer heat typically ranges between 35 and 45 degrees celsius.
Have to see Central Texas( hill country) and South Padre! My â„ïž
The Texas Medical Center is so big that it is itâs own city district of Houston
Hi Kabir, I am really impressed at how much you know about the U.S. I live in Houston. You know a lot about Texas, California, New York and Florida.
Houston gets so hot in the summer that you feel like you are swimming to your car in a steam shower. The humidity makes the air feel so thick and sticky. I personally stay indoors or by the pool. The heat index + humidity is what gets you. I donât know the Celsius comparison, but in high school, we were on a youth mission trip, and weâre working on a roof, my friendâs vinyl shorts started melting.
I've lived in Dallas all my life and while I get great joy putting down Houston, I would not advise a tourist to come to either city. While they both have good food, there's not much else to interest a tourist. Go to Austin, San Antonio, or Fort Worth.
you either live in the suburbs or youâre a homebody. because thereâs so much to do here. Before I had my son you could not keep me home to save my life. Literally every single day I was out eating at a restaurant or going to the museum or just doing something just out of the house. At one point I was literally eating breakfast lunch and dinner out at restaurants because we never went home except to sleep. This is a really good place to be.
@@heatherharroff4790 You're correct but that wasn't the question. If someone from out of state wanted to visit Texas for a few days and get a feel for its culture and food, would you send them to business/industrial hubs like Dallas and Houston or to cultural places like Austin, San Antonio, or Fort Worth?
@@TXKafir there is a lot of culture in Dallas I really am having a hard time understanding where youâre coming from Iâm really not trying to be rude at all. Thereâs so much art here and artistic places to go to. And amazing food. Iâm just thinking of rainbow vomit right off the bat as an interesting place. And I donât know I am half asleep right now but there are so many places that I go to all the time that are so interesting. I know deep ellum is talked about a lot but itâs talked about for a reason and there are some really cool places down there and Houston definitely doesnât have a neighborhood like that in fact a lot of cities donât have a neighborhood like deep ellum it is one of a kind. Iâve worked in Deep Ellum for years so I know the whole neighborhood and it is definitely a very interesting place to see as a tourist for sure just working there I saw so many tourists all the time.
There is literally so much incredible food in Dallas I donât know what youâre talking about as far as food.. I mean Austin is great and all but as far as culture I donât really see too much culture there except for hippie vibes. Itâs just majorly hippie.
@@heatherharroff4790 Dallas is my home town. I love it and agree with you. However, if someone tells me they want to spend 3-4 days visiting Texas, then the arc between Galveston and San Antonio is a better use of his short time here. If he was coming for a month, then DFW would definitely be on the list.
When I was in Dallas in July it was 110 degrees one day and get like hell on earth. That being said, it is a gorgeous city and I highly recommend the Hyatt regency for staying. Beautiful hotel.
†Hyatt
Lol I'm born and raised in Dallas and can confirm this statement
@@gregorywomack9416 it is just a gorgeous wonderful city. My mom had an art show in the Hyatt many years ago and it was such a wonderful stay! And the rotating restaurant in the sky ball (Iâm sorry I donât remember the name as I was young) was magnificent. Also, no place on earth does steak like Texas! NO PLACE ON EARTH!â€ïž hello from Michigan!đ
Fun fact: the UK is smaller than 11 US states, if it joined the USA tomorrow it would be 12th largest behind Michigan.
What makes each one unique is its intangible attitude, its general vibe. You have to spend time in different parts of each, away from the tourist locations, and ideally now and then over a few years, to really pick up on it.
In Houston it typically may get around 100°f or about 37°c in the summer.
32-35 is best case scenario in most parts of Texas. I lived in Austin for 9 years and that would be like a baseline through the summer. It regularly was even hotter than that. Dreadful, really. Broke our house's AC twice in that period. So happy to be out of there. Though, Austin is a fantastic city, really.
Austin is way too liberal for my taste. The governor even had to put a stop to the city council trying to defund the police! Donât believe me? Look it up đ€·ââïž
In both cities, you can expect summertime highs in the 35-41C range. This will go on from mid-May to mid-September.
That is wrong about Dallas not being near mountains. There are mountains in Oklahoma within about an hours drive north to the Arbuckle mountains. And the Oauchita Mountains are about 2 hours drive NE in the SE corner of Oklahoma and starts in Broken Bow which is absolutely beautiful.
I live in Tyler which is just down I20 from Dallas (about an hour and a half to 2 hour drive) I20 goes East-West, and here in Tyler we see many days at 100 F with Humidity pushing it even higher. 100f is a dinky 38.8 or so in c.
And Yes Celsius is DINKY. đ€
Temperatureâs are in Fahrenheit. But in July-mid September anywhere between the high 90âs-110+
Texas produces a ton of oil and gas. Oil refineries abound in southern Texas.
I live in the DFW metroplex and the summertime highs are typically in the 100-105F range. (37.7 - 40.5C)
I have lived in Dallas for almost 40 Years. In that time around 45c was the hottest, but we only have an average of 20 a year over 38c. Need to put things in perspective though. An acquaintance of mine immigrated from Wigan near Liverpool. I asked him one August day how he was handling a Texas summer. He pointedly said âI will take two months of really hot by my pool with my air conditioned car, home and office over 9 months of grey, cold and wet with three months of niceâ And I have said to my sister who lives close to the Canadian border in Montana, âI have never had to shovel or scrape sunshine off my car.â
Second largest city is San Antonio, which is much older than both ( remember the Alamo) the metro areas of other two are much larger. I lived there for 6 years. Really enjoy your âreactionsâ thank you for your efforts
Hottest day I recall in San Antonio was 112° f, August 2000. My son was a newborn and we would wait until midnight for the temps to be under 100° before we would go to the store for groceries. You could still see the steam coming up from the pavement because of the high humidity levels.
Common to have multiple months straight of 100*F+ each day. Normal summer easily 101-105
Yup. Even the " cool" of the night maybe be over 90.
I remember stupid weeks where the temps never drop below 95. You just sweat all night too.
Houston was seriously worse at times. The humidity is beyond explanation at times.
Our summers are really hot (40C) is not unusual. Both Dallas and Houston can be great to visit, but if you are interested in history and culture, youâd be better off visiting San Antonio and Austin. SA has the missions, the Alamo, and the river walk. In between SA and Austin you could visit the water park Schlitterbahn to cool off and have fun. Austin has the capitol (bigger than the US capitols DC), LBJ library, And the Texas State museum. Where I live a 4 bedroom house in a good neighborhood will run $450,000 +
Average day in Houston is 34, summers are more like 37-38, feels like 42 cus of humidity
I live in a 4 bed 3.5 bath house and it costed $560k
A very nice house would cost you about half a mil either city. But that would be basically a mansion by European standards. Overall prices are ridiculously cheap. My house was built in 2016, all granite & tile three bedroom, beautiful landscaped yard...for $160 k.
I have flown in and out of Dallas twice on a standby/ family ticket. Dallas is probably my least favorite airport to fly out of on standby because it's more stressful than other cities I've been to. Both times it was in the summer so the temperature was over 100°F the whole time I was there.
Alpha and Beta ranks determine the importance of a city and it's influence Globally.
Actually according to the new GaWec ranks for 2021 Dallas is Alpha- And Houston is Beta+
Do you have a link? I can only find 2020 and it has houston as the alpha- and Dallas as the beta.
@@chadwickvon8019 look up the road according to GaWC 2020
@@KingAsa5 I did and it lists both cities as beta+...CZcams keeps deleting the link so I can't post it.
@@chadwickvon8019 yeah Idk why YT keeps deleting the link either
Houston is largest city in Texas. Houston metro extends from Conroe where I live in the north to Cleveland down to kingwood, Baytown and south to Texas city then west to Katy then up to cypress and Tomball and back up the Woodlands and Conroe. Lol we have the largest road systems. And a new one called 99 or grand parkway that go from Woodlands all the way around
Houston is the largest city in the US without an NHL team. Which is very odd because they have an NBA team (Rockets), MLB team (Astros), nfl team (Texans), and an MLS team (Dynamo) in the city of Houston.
Also, the Houston Astros & Houston Rockets get their name from the NASA HQ near Houston.
@@frankisfunny2007 actually the Rockets came from San Diego already named the Rockets. Kind of lucky we got that team since the name already fit. I always felt sorry for New Orleans losing the Jazz to Utah, especially when they finally got another basketball team and ended up naming it the Pelicans.
You should check out the Texas medical center. Itâs a marvel. They are adding to it constantly.
Some time ago I was driving through Texas in July and stopped for lunch near the Interstate by Dallas. I had heard on the local radio station that Dallas had just reached 100 degrees for the 21st consecutive day. That is slightly higher than 38 Celsius. I opened the door of my air-conditioned car and before my foot hit the pavement my glasses were so steamed up I was blind!
Kabir, actually Texas can fit into Alaska 2.2 times.
The "motorway system" at 16:00 is called a cloverleaf.
As is mentioned below, Ft. Worth is a good visit. One thing you'll see there, and wouldn't back home is a rodeo, as they really embrace their cowboy culture.
In south Texas it normally get over 100 for like 30 days thur the summer
i am from dfw and if you make it out here i will give you a couple of must eat restaurants .
As a houstonian places to visit would be : the museum district, Houston zoo, NASA(yes you can see real rockets up close itâs AWESOME) and maybe plan to come during the Houston livestock show and rodeo which is in late February to late March! Itâs so fun and a great Texas experience đ€
1:36 San Antonio. The Texas Triangle trip in the NBA is fun, even though the Rockets and the Spurs are rebuilding now.
Spurs would be better without their political coach
We live in Sugar Land outside of Houston TX. Have been here this time (2nd time living in Tx) for over 30 years.
I'm a Dallasite, yes that's a word. Going on a vacation in Texas, usually it's San Antonio. Austin is known for its nightlife and music scene. Houston for the bay and certain events. That video has it wrong, Dallas has 4 times more restaurants per person than New York City.
Alaska would take up 1/3 the US. Four or five times the size of Texas
One fifth of the US. Twice the size of Texas.
Cool . . .
8:43 Why else was Houston Oilers (now NFL's Tennessee Titans) so named?
The food and that picture is fajitas. It's available at any Tex-Mex restaurant. It's definitely one of the things you have to try if you come to Texas.
Fajitas really is the state dish. The exact combination of ingredients came together in the sixties and seventies in South Texas, though similar dishes had been made in Mexico and parts of the US for hundreds of years.
Lol chuck Norris has a karate school and House north of Houston too but his show was based out of Dallas
As a native Houstonian I love my city And can be the first to vouch tht it has come a long way from this oil region it once was known for to a favorite tourist hotspot it is today from our world class culinary scene tht drags people in all across the globe places such as trill burger TLH breakfast klub etc to our Elite entertainment kulture resorts such as Margaritaville shopping such as the galleria which pulls in over 30 million tourists annually nasa gets over 25 million and host 1.25 million And lastly the Houston livestock show pulls in over 2.4 million And dnt even get me started on our theater&&museum districts or rooftop cinema which was the very first one of its kind to have evr made its debut in America tht is until the rest of the cities in the nation started to follow suit like they did w/ everything else tht originated in Htown And canât forget abt post Houston especially at night when the sunset starts kissing the beautiful skyline before I found out abt post I had never seen anything like it and Iâve been to damn near every major city I remember hearing someone say a piece of heaven fell on earth in the form of Houston back then I didnât know wht they meant But now I do People be taking pictures in front of the skyline and posting it to their instagram Hell sometimes I swear Iâm in Paris watching them from afar take pics w/ the Eiffel Tower in the background But Iâve ranted enough my point is tht every city has to start somewhere for an example look at Miami it was nothing but swamplands back in 1912 before all the artificial beaches đŽ trees && sand But then again I could say the same for over 31% of Florida it was mainly Everglades And nothing moređđ€·đŸđŻ
If you wish to visit Dallas, do it late September and early October when the State Fair is in Dallas. If you wish to visit Houston, do it in Spring, later for warmer seas of Galveston before the hurricane season which starts in June. The best time to visit San Antonio is December with all the Christmas decoration up around the River Walk. Avoid visiting Texas in the summer, your body will melt away in the heat.
10:32 Just like how the late Clint Murchison Jr., an oil businessman, founded Dallas Cowboys AND built the old Texas Stadium.
2nd largest is San Antonio and growing the fastest state capital 4th largest is Austin
DFW in the summer: 1980--Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, high temperatures exceeded 100 °F (38 °C) a total of 69 times, including a record 42 consecutive days from June 23 to August 3, of which 28 days were above 105, and five days above 110.
If you visit, bring asbestos underwear.
Great video mate (:
In Houston during Hurricane Harvey they received a max rainfall of 60â in a week
And you can't rule out Conroe and Katy as metro cities of Houston cause we have metro bus lines thst go downtown Houston đ and Huntsville is actually most south line of Tornado Alley
San Antonio, Austin, Houston/Galveston, Dallas/Ft. Worth, El Paso, Amarillo. 6 major cities
1. Dallas averages 18/ Houston averages 7 consecutive 100°F (37.7°C)days between july and august.
2. 4 to 5 bedroom houses in both cities averages $425,000.00
3. Hermann Memorial Medical Complex in houston is a small city. With award winning cancer, burn, ob/gyn, and mental health facilities.
This was a funny video, I liked it. Before I watched, I thought Dallas will be hot and dry and Houston hot and humid. As an outsider, I like Dallas as a tourist spot more than Houston, but the Space Center is a cool place to visit. I had friends that moved to the Dallas area a few years ago, they bought a house and then convince all their relatives to buy... on the same street!
It's not the heat, it's the humidity! You go outside and after a while you will be drenched in sweat!
San Antonio, Austin, & corpus Christi are the other cities
Yes I was born in Corpus Christi but I never mention it cause no one seems to know it exists or where it is lol.
