If it seems like it’s been a slower-than-usual slide into fall this year, that’s because it has been.
Houston finally recorded its first overnight temperature in the 40s of the season on Wednesday morning, if only barely, at 49 degrees. According to data compiled by Brian Brettschneider this ties as the second-latest date (1902) in the fall season that Houston has recorded a temperature in the 40s.
