It's been a really warm week in Houston, with temperatures running 10 to 12 degrees above normal. The humidity will be with us a few more days, and next Tuesday should bring widespread rain totals of at lest 1 inch. But beyond that a cooler, drier air mass will make things feel more like March than May. The second half of this week should see highs in the 70's and lows near 50.

NEW POST :D

You think Texas has some extreme weather? Hardly. Consider the world's extremes from February. Both Roebourne, Western Australia (on Feb. 16), and Redelinghuys, South Africa (on Feb. 5), recorded highs of 114.3 degrees. The coldest temperature for February also was recorded in the Southern Hemisphere, Antarctica. The Dome A site had a low of -84.5 degrees. Summer in Antarctica!

These are leap day records, to be sure, yet both Bush Intercontinental Airport and Hobby Airport smashed records on Wednesday. The official station's daily minimum temperature of 71 ended up being 7 degrees warmer than the city's previous record high minumum temperature if 64 in 1932. And Hobby Airport, which had a low of 70, whacked the record of 61 set in 2008.
