Benefits of the topography include the tremendously popular Compaq Houston Marathon and plenty of wide open sunset views. Weather Houston's amiable year-round climate makes it a safe bet you'll find sunshine during a visit to the city. In the summer, humidity is certainly a factor to be considered, and can make the air feel much warmer than the actual temperature. What to wear Given the warm temperatures, Houston is a somewhat casual city. In business districts such as Downtown, Greenway Plaza and the Uptown Galleria area, visitors will notice the majority of people wearing business attire.
Casual clothing is the norm in more relaxed areas such as sports venues, attractions and museums.
Short sleeves are ideal around the clock for the summer months, while a light jacket may be necessary fall and spring evenings. December and January are our coldest months and may require a few extra layers. Airports Houston has two major airports positioned on opposite sides of the city. To the north, Bush Intercontinental Airport is located approximately 40 minutes from downtown Houston between Interstate 45 and Highway 59, just north of the Sam Houston Tollway. To the south, Hobby Airport is located approximately 20 minutes from downtown Houston a few miles south of Loop 610, just west of Interstate 45.
