1. The best months to move to Houston are December to March.
2. The worst months to move in are during hurricane and rainy season from April to November. Houston's location by the Gulf of Mexico exposes it to hurricanes and flooding. Further the temperature is above 90 °F about 100 days and over 100 °F a few days, each year. During the rainy season from April to October flooding is problematic because the flatness leaves rain where it lands.
3. Homes in Houston tend to be of similar size to what Canadians have grown accustom to. While possessions you want to move will more likely fit your new home, not shipping them and buying new will have attractive potential. Certainly storage on arrival will likely be less of a concern than with other US cities.
