Yeah, Houston summers are nearly the definition of oppressive.

This made me with my late second cup of coffee on this lazy morning late start. Honestly, of all defenses to Dallas or Houston summers..... These cities less oppressive in summer was the poorest defense one could possibly use.

Chicago for much of the summer even is cooler by the lake where its whole core is. The Lake waters remain cooler till August having a cooling effect if any lake breezes result. Not as good for Spring starts though .... as you want the warmer then that inland is getting.

Of course, no one defends aspects of the depths of Jan/Feb winters in the Upper Midwest and Northeast. But no one would wish the city not have mighty ocean-like Lake Michigan to not be a Chicago asset. especially, for all summer enjoyment.

Just a couple windsurfers on Chicago
Lake Michigan waters this time of day ....
