![]() ![]() NEW NORMAL: Climate change to bring more triple-digit heat, extreme rain to Houston, report says 13 inches of precipitation made it the third driest June on record, Wood said. The heat has been coupled with dry conditions affecting farmers and ranchers - and, in turn, possibly consumers - across the state. “It may not end up as above normal as June was, but I do think a warmer-than-normal summer is what we’re looking at.” “We are expecting July and August to be above normal,” said Wood, who is based in the National Weather Service’s Houston/Galveston office. That surpassed the previous record set in June 2011 of 86.2 degrees, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Lance Wood. The average temperature in June, based on daily highs and lows at Bush Intercontinental Airport, was 86.7 degrees. Last month was the hottest June on record for Houston - and, unfortunately, the rest of this summer could also be a swelter.
