When Will Texas Get Relief From the Heat?

We’re currently in the dog days of summer – when will we finally get a break from this intense heat? 

To be fair, this summer has been fairly mild compared to the last couple. Sure, we’re in triple-digit temps now, but we’ve had a couple of breaks from the intense heat with highs in the low 90s.  

Someone from up North would read that and think I’m crazy, but trust me, highs in the 90s are nice this time of year in this neck of the woods. I’ll take highs in the 90s in July and August all day, every day.
