Please consider that houston has many 100+ degree days in the summer coupled with 90-100% humidity during a long summer. The weather is vastly different in Houston than in Vancouver. Today's high is 90 with 45% humidity. Just something else to consider for those wanting to bike.

I wouldn't say many 100+ days. 2005 recorded five total days of temperature reaching above 100 degrees. 2006 recorded only two. The hottest it has ever gotten was 109 degrees in September of 2000

Yeah, it doesn't get over 100 degrees that often in Houston.

I can only remember a few years where it did not reach 100 atleast once per year. However, June til Sep, a 95° day coupled with 95% humidity if very very common here. As a matter of fact, it is the norm. This is like no other city on the planet. A nice cool breeze under some shade can provide a little relief when it is 100° and low humidity; this is not so in Houston.

Too, the few years that it didnt top 100, most assuredly it reaches 96° atleast 20 times or more that year

I dont know what you guys are trying to prove here, but Houston is HOT.

Houston is not unique in that situation.

I've experienced worse in San Antonio and Killeen. Call me crazy, but I prefer humid heat to dry heat any day.
