If you’re a fan of above-average temperatures for this time of year and you live in Texas, you’re in luck. Otherwise, you might want to stay inside during the day for the next week or so, as it will feel like June outside. 

While I would much rather have highs in the 70s, I can handle the low 90s pretty well. Growing up in North Texas, I’ve been through some of the hottest summers you can imagine. So, the weather we’ve had lately doesn’t really bother me.

The way I see it is that since the seasons always seem to skip fall and go straight to winter in this part of the country, I’ll take a hotter-than-usual stretch of days, because I am not a fan of cold weather.
