Houston is a bit different. You probably remember from Port Aransas. You walk outside from an air-conditioned space in the summer, and if you wear glasses, they instantly fog up. My camera lenses fog up when I'm working down on the Gulf coast.
Repairing a fence in Houston in May means being soaked in sweat in less than five minutes.
But, it is not as bad as New Orleans in May. There, you can walk outside with a knife, slice off a cube of air, and drink it.

Oh yes. I remember my very first spring and summer on the Texas Coast. But come the second time around I was almost used to it. One winter it actually got cold enough for a few snowflakes to fall. There is a huge picture of the snow on the carpet outside the Aransas Pass City Hall. That cracked me up completely. The folks inside never did figure out what I was laughing so hard at. And I certainly didn't think I was insulting them. I just kept my mouth shut. Snow in Southern Texas indeed is a very rare event.
Today, here in East Boston we actually had bright sunshine. I have transitional lens on my glasses and they turned immediately into sunglasses as soon as I was outside. A joy to behold! Not a drop of rain.
