Yes, the clouds do things called ‘rain’ which, (I’m having flashbacks to high school marching band) drop water and turn IMMEDIATELY INTO STEAM. I can remember seeing what looked like fog on our practice marching field. (Which was parking lot with parking slots painted on it…AND football field hash marks.)
Houston doesn’t get great Gulf stream stuff. You’re thinking of Galveston.
(I’m glad you didn’t die at Trader’s Village and I KINDA want to see the leather shorts photos!)
Let me be clear: I actually love hot, humid weather… when it is accompanied by late-morning-to-late-evening “tropical style, daytime heating” scattered showers and storms. It’s a great environment for me–I thrive in it.
I mean, there’s actual clouds in the sky to moderate the heat, actual wind from the storms’ outflow… and if you get a good “roll of the dice” and get actual rain, well… let me say right now that I consider that “after the summer rain” outside air to be one of life’s little pleasures.

Lest non-Houstonians get the impression that summer thunderstorms in the area bring actual relief from heat and humidity - no dice. Temps will drop a few degrees for a short while, then the sun comes back out and it is just as hot and even more humid than ever.
One of “life’s little pleasures” is not going outside in the early morning to do a few light chores and winding up covered in sweat after 15 minutes because it is already unbearable out there.
But hey, soon it will be October and the heat will break in the Houston area, at least for awhile.
Spank that ass. I cannot imagine any leather shorts being remotely comfortable during the summer unless you cut the ass cheeks out of them. Come to think of it, that is exactly what some fit young men in New Orleans did during the summer at least when I lived there. I never was sure why. They must have been some really practical minded folks more concerned with utility over image.
