Yesterday was hot but about like the day before, not like the days before that when the humidity had the heat index in triple digits. Perhaps it was my imagination. The heat index seemed a bit lower, and the radio reported a temperature of only 94° when I was driving home.

Last night's low was expected to be around 77°. It was 78° when I woke up.

Maybe it wasn't quite as humid yesterday as it has been. Or maybe the temperature really was cooler than it has been. Anyway, it didn't feel brutally hot when I left the office yesterday afternoon. At one point, the radio said the temperature was 95°.

Last night's low was expected to be 77°. It was 75° when I woke up.

The temperature probably got into the 90s last night, but by the time I left the office, the skies had clouded up, and we got some rain as I drove home. The temperature dropped into the 80s late in the day.

The temperature was in the 90s again yesterday. I'm not sure about the heat index. It may have stayed in double digits. I don't think humidity was quite as high as it has been.

Last night's low was expected to be in the upper 70s. It was 82° when I woke up.

I don't know exactly what yesterday's high temperature was. I spent most of the day indoors, but my guess would be that it was in the mid–90s. It seemed a little more humid so I would also guess that the heat index got into triple digits.

Forecasters said last night's low would be in the upper 70s. It was 82° when I woke up.

It seemed a degree or two cooler yesterday than it has been. Perhaps it was the semi–cloudy skies. More likely it was the lower humidity. Anyway, the temperature was around 95° or 96° when I left the office.

Last night's low was predicted to be 80°, and that is precisely what the temperature was when I woke up.

In the summer in Texas, the days tend to be mostly the same. It was hot again yesterday. As I was driving home, the radio reported a temperature of 97°. The heat index was probably in triple digits although the humidity level is dropping. The forecast for the weekend indicates temperatures around 96° with heat indices that are only a couple of degrees higher than that.

Last night't low was expected to be in the upper 70s. It was 79° when I woke up.

Other than the fact that there were some clouds in the sky, yesterday was pretty much like the other days we have had lately. The radio reported a temperature of 97° when I drove home. The heat index almost certainly was in triple digits.

The temperature when I drove home yesterday may have been the hottest I've witnessed so far this year. The radio reported a temperature of 97°. I never heard what the heat index was. I guess we can take it for granted the heat index was in triple digits.

Last night's low was expected to be in the upper 70s. It was 81° when I woke up.

The radio reported a temperature of 94° when I was driving home from work yesterday. The heat index wasn't mentioned, but my guess is that it was in triple digits — again.

Yesterday was Father's Day, and I spent most of the day with my father — indoors. It was hot, but it probably wasn't quite as hot as it has been lately. Still humid, though, so my guess is that the heat index was probably in the upper 90s.

Last night's low was predicted to be 75°. It was 78° when I woke up.

Yesterday's temperature probably got into the mid– to upper 90s, and the heat index was surely in triple digits. It is not expected to be quite as hot today — temperature in the lower 90s and a heat index in the upper 90s. Then it sounds like we'll start moving back up during the week.

Still, it's all hot to me.

Last night's low was expected to be around 78°. It was 77° when I woke up.

The heat wave continues.

The temperature was 97° when I was driving home yesterday, and I am sure the heat index was in triple digits. More of the same is expected today, then we'll start to cool down — to about 93° or 94° — tomorrow.

Last night's low was expected to be 77°. It was 80° when I woke up.

The days are getting hotter — gradually. The radio reported a temperature of 94° when I was driving home yesterday afternoon — with a heat index of 105°. Even after sunset last night, the temperature was 90° and the heat index was 96°. We're under a heat advisory through tomorrow.

Forecasters said last night's low would be 75°. It was 79° when I woke up.

Yesterday's temperature was 92° when I left the office. Once again, the humidity had the heat index up around triple digits. More is expected today and tomorrow. In fact, I have heard there is a heat advisory in effect with heat index figures predicted to be 104° and 105°.

Last night's low was expected to be in the 70s. It was 79° when I woke up.

I don't know what yesterday's high temperature was. I was sick yesterday and stayed inside nearly all of the day. My guess would be that the temperature was in the 90s, as it has tended to be for the last several days. We had some rain during the afternoon, just like we did on Saturday and Sunday, which may have lowered the temperature, at least for awhile.

Last night's low was expected to be in the mid–70s. It was 76° when I woke up.

I don't know how high the actual temperature went yesterday — my best guess would be the 90s — and quite humid. We got some rain late in the afternoon, which did succeed in cooling things off a bit, but before the rain the humidity certainly must have made it feel hotter than it was. I've heard that today's humidity could lead to a heat index of 99°.

Last night's low was expected to be 74°. That was just about on the money. It was 75° when I woke up.

This morning's meter reading is between 31279 and 31280. Yesterday's reading was 31245. Consumption was 34½ kWh.

Yesterday's high temperature probably wasn't much above 90°, but the humidity made it feel much hotter. They say it will be 89° today; I haven't heard about the humidity. Then they say we can expect each day to be a degree or two warmer than the day before through next weekend.

Last night's low was expected to be 74°. It was 80° when I woke up.

I don't know exactly what the temperature was when I drove home yesterday. My best guess would be 92° or 93° — about the same as it has been all week. Forecasters are predicting a high of 92° today, but they say it will feel more like 98°. Ouch!

Last night's low was expected to be 75°. It was 78° when I woke up.

The pattern is clear. The radio reported a temperature of 91° when I left the office yesterday afternoon. Hot and dry. It's weird how what is typically one of the wettest months of the year in Texas — May — is almost always followed immediately by three or four of the driest months of the year.

Forecasters said last night's low would be 68°. I don't know if it ever got that low. It was 77° when I woke up.

I guess the weather we're having — hot and dry — is seasonable for Texas. I'm just never ready for the heat. The radio reported a temperature of 92° as I was driving home yesterday afternoon. Fortunately the humidity has been low.

It's still hot, though. Last night's low was expected to be 71°. It was 76° when I woke up.

Yesterday was quite warm. According to some, the temperature hit 90°, and it may even have been higher than that. Looks like we can expect more of that this week — and probably for the next four or five months.

It was overcast when I woke up yesterday, and there was even some light drizzle in the morning, but that gave way to clear skies and warm temperatures. Forecasters say we can expect a dry and progressively warmer week with temperatures in the 90s in the later portion of the week. Summer is not quite here yet, but it is definitely on its way.

The rain that was expected never really materialized yesterday. There were moments of light rain, but nothing like we saw earlier in the week. And, as nearly as I could tell, the temperature remained in the low 80s most of the day.

Forecasters expected a low in the 60s last night. It was 71° when I woke up.

The temperature climbed into the 80s yesterday and stayed there for awhile. The overcast skies stayed for awhile, too, but we never got any rain even though the forecasters told us there was a 70% chance. In fact, the skies cleared by midafternoon. Still, rain remains a probability for the next two or three days.

Last night's low was expected to be in the 70s. It was 73° when I woke up.

Conditions were clear and sunny most of the day yesterday, but then the rain moved into the area. I don't know how warm it was before the rain arrived, but the radio reported a temperature of 72° when I was in my car driving home — a drive that took more than an hour under those conditions.
