Westheimer residence there's a local joke that any driving directions in Houston begins with “start on Westheimer.” But it seems like a true statement. Originally Westheimer was a five
mile horse trail. Today, Westheimer is calculated at 43.3 miles which makes it the longest named roadway in Texas.
Relocation to Houston are generally classified as either being inside or outside Interstate 610, known
as the "610 Loop" or "The Loop". Inside the loop generally encompasses the central business district, and has come to define an urban state of mind.
The appellation “inner looper” carries with it the expectation of someone who appreciates cosmopolitan-style city life. Texas Beltway 8 also
known simply as the "Beltway", encircles the city another 5 miles farther out, is Texas Highway 99 .
Houston's climate is classified as being humid subtropical. The city is located in the gulf coastal plains biome, and the vegetation is classified as a temperate grassland. Much of Houston was built on forested land, marshes or prarie, all of which can still be seen in surrounding areas. Average yearly precipitation levels range from 36 to 48 inches (900 to 1200 mm). Prevailing winds are from the south and southeast during most of the year, bringing heat from the deserts of Mexico and moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.
In summertime, daily high temperatures are in the 90 to 105 °F (32 to 41 °C) range throughout much of July and August. The air
tends to feel still and the humidity often 90 to 100% relative humidity makes the air feel hotter than it really is. The coolest period is
usually in January, when north winds bring winter rains. Snow is almost unheard of, and typically does not accumulate when it is seen.
Houston has four major bayous passing through the city. The Buffalo Bayou, which runs into downtown, the Brays Bayou, which runs along the Texas Medical Center, White Oak Bayou runs through the Heights and near northwest area and the Sims Bayou in the south of Houston merge in downtown Houston into the Houston Ship Channel. The Ship Channel goes past Galveston, Texas into the Gulf of Mexico.
Most of Houston is very flat and is about fifty feet above sea level in elevation; the Houston Heights area has the highest elevation in the city. The city once relied on groundwater for its water needs. Land subsidence forced the city to turn to ground-level water sources such as Lake Houston.
Houston's climate is often compared to that of Dallas, Texas. Dallas has a hot and dry climate while Houston has a hot and humid climate. While Dallas gets hotter temperatures, Houstons heat index is often higher.
Locations Houston city limits that are inside the 610 Loop traditionally used the 713 area code. Those outside the 610 Loop that are within the city limits normally receive the 281 or 832 area code. However, the geographic division between 713, 281, and 832 has been eliminated, and newly issued phone numbers especially for cell phones and fax machines, within that zone may be assigned any of the three codes. Areas far north, west, east and south of the inner-city also use 936 and 409
