Also a funny , about "records"....IAH shows records now...especially when compared to early 1960s....(when they measured temps there then...it was in the forest...no concrete...today..runways , streets and buildings, which retain heat....the IAH airport opened in 1969.....so, is it 'fair' to use temps in the ealy 60s to to9days in many places? the surrounding areas have changed dramatically ,which impacts the readings....the country side in most cases have very few weather stations.
