Texas was so pleasant this past summer, I was able to be outside until noon. Never had been able to be comfortable that late in the day. People’s water wells didn’t dry up. The news wasn’t constantly pearl clutching over the rivers however they sure were whining about the record breaking temperatures. Hmm, yeah, they must have lost the records for 1980 when it was 115 and 2011 when the rivers did run dry.
You must live in a different part of Texas than me. It was waaaay hotter than normal.
