Most sane people would agree with you that Houston's weather is horrible for at least 4-5 months out of the year, but most sane people would also get that mpope was joking, not meaning to insult anyone.

I had a little extra time so I picked a few random dates at weather underground. It does stay quite warm all night on many summer nights during these 12-hour periods.

Here is what I found for Waco:

It was a joke. Hence the "lol".

It wasn't rude because it was said in a playful manner. Trust me, you will know when I'm being rude. But all jokes aside, I think we've gotten the fact that you don't like Texas. Sure, you have the right to speak your mind, but you're kind of running it in the ground.

Laughing out loud can also occur when it isn't a joke; people do laugh when they're making fun of something, hence the reason I took it as being rude.

Hey, did you perchance check out some of the night to early morning temps I posted for Waco? At least it's not as hot has Bullhead City, AZ, but hot enough. Not that you or sweetclimber want to hear it, but I'm sure Houston is even worse.

I don't think it takes sanity to figure out if someone was joking or not. Personally, I thought it was rude and not done in a joking matter, but mpope has cleared that up now.

If it takes sanity to agree that Houston's weather is horrible for months, I believe there must be a lot of insane people living there as too many say it's just fine and dandy.

It's still not 100 degrees, which is a major difference. And you forget that Houston is near the water. Nights are often cool.

I still say that people are making this more than it has to be. As a matter of fact, I'm in Killeen, Texas for the weekend and right now, in the middle of summer, there is a gorgeous breeze, with fair weather clouds in the sky, hummingbirds in the trees. Very beautiful.

Again, I never said 100 degrees but in the 90s even though one of the years I posted had temps at 100 or near in the later hours of the evening.

I agree. This morning is delightful. I sat outside in the shade and enjoyed listening to the sounds of the peaceful doves. This was at 9 a.m. and it was only 80 degrees. It's still too humid though to turn off my A/C. Darn, I hate those high electric bills.

Yes, you're right, I'm sure about Houston. Maybe the temps are lower at night, but I would assume the humidity is higher.

In 100 years from now, this debate about the weather won't matter anyway.

Instead of focusing on past summers, why don't we just enjoy this summer for what it is...cooler than average.
