We had a great spring here in Houston, it was long and mild with the cool temps hanging out longer than usual, but it had to come to an end at some point. It hit 104.6° at the house today, and I got this email from weather underground.

...Record high temperatures for the day and month set at Houston
intercontinental and hobby airports...
Intercontinental Airport temperature made it up to 107 degrees...which is the new record high temperature for today June 29th. The previous record for the day was 103 degrees in 2009.
This 107 degree reading is also the new record for the highest temperature in June. The previous record was 105 degrees on June 5th and 6th in 2011...and 105 degrees on June 26th in 2009.
A record high temperature of 105 degrees was set at Houston/hobby Airport today. This breaks the old record of 100 set in 2009.
This 105 degree reading is also the new record for the highest temperature in June. The previous record was 102 degrees on June 25th and 26th of 2012...and June 5th of 2011.

It's topped out at 99° at the house the past few days.
The electric bill this month is almost triple what it was 2 months ago and is more than triple what it was 3 months ago.
I'm going to visit the Amazon river this summer, it's sad that the weather is going to be cooler and more comfortable there than here at home.
Still, I would rather be here in Houston than Phoenix. I've heard the whole "it's not the heat, it's the humidity" thing which is true unless the heat is high enough to roast a turkey, and then it's just damn hot.
