Wundermap screengrab (they're so pretty!). According to Houston Chronicle, Houston's previous high temperature record for today was 91 degrees. Well, we've pretty much toasted that sucker, with readings of 92 at the airport, 94 in Channelview, 95 in Angleton and 97 (!!!) in The Woodlands. |

Please rain on our parade
As if a months-long deepening drought, local water emergencies, rampant destruction and federal disaster declarations from wildfires, and petrochem plant-crippling power outages weren't painful enough, we appear to have set an all-time temperature record today, and it's only 2 pm as I write this.
As my late grandmother used to say, "This, too, shall pass." While you're patiently waiting for that to happen, it might be worth checking out SciGuy's post on why this current mess is NOT related to global warming.
