    It is hot, hot, hot in Galveston County.

    92 degrees in the shade, bright sun, no wind, miserable.

    Around 1800 hours we will be able to venture out.

    10 months of the year, it is pleasant here. I can remember carrying news papers in
    Oklahoma City and in the winter it got down into the 20's and sometimes lower.
    I don't miss that, but this is miserable.
    It will be nice in the morning though.

    It was a blazing 74 F here today in New Westminster BC on the other hand we haven't had significant rain here for about 10 weeks so we are ready for the fall rain too.

    August 16, 2017. Note the "Feels like" number (112). I didn't know what "Heat index" meant until I moved here several years ago, from a place known for its rain and humidity.

    It's August 18 and in Galveston County, it is 84, bright sun, it will be a hot day.
    Every one here has central air conditioning. I walk every morning for 1.1 miles
    and this time of the year, you can hear them running.

    You sure it wasn't 96 degrees in the shade?

    First off, I'm not a fan of hot and humid. I recall being in Houston one summer when it wasn't fit to be out (by my standards) past about 8:30 in the morning. Just miserable.

    Ever been to Houston? Irregardless of location, AZ and TX are both hot. You (assuming Phoenix) are at 105, feels like 104 with 19% humidity. We are at 96, feels like 108 with 54% humidity. It was over 90% this morning. I walk twenty feet to my garage and I'm already sweating. It is too humid to offer any evaporative cooling effect.

    Weather guessers just made up the "heat index" or "feels like" temperatures.... 105 is 105 and there's no way to know if it "feels like" 110.... I've lived in Houston and Arizona (Tucson) and hot is hot, but I personally would rather be hot then cold.
    I may be akin to a snake, once my body temperature drops, I don't move well, except to get to some place warm.
