It's absolutely miserable outside on top of all the other reasons not to go. I had to go for work a couple years ago to setup a control system.
The air was so thick with dust that I didn't see the sky proper from the time the plane went in to land until my departing flight climbed back above the cloud. It was 112 degrees during the daytime and damn near 100% humidity even with the dust. I still managed to get sunburned under the cloud. There was next to no breeze so the heat is just stagnant on top of everything else. Even at night, it was 90+f. There is just no relief from the heat.
I fear this reads like a time travelers trip to the future and back, too.
When I went, I left Houston and the highs were like 110f for a couple weeks but it was dry. The hottest July in several years. We have broken that record in average temp for the following two years iirc.
