Weather and Climate

I have pretty much come to a solid understanding of how those to concepts "play out" BUT GDI it is so unnerving to see thunderstorms pop up all around this little spot in SE TX/SW LA for the past week, and that we have to endure more of this "heat bubble", this unbearable heat for another week, with no prospects of rain/clouds. It's almost like we're being punished (which is kinda plausible considering what Houston/TX are known for/were built on, and is responsible for heating up the climate, causing this anomaly)
