Texas summer outlook cools with wetter spring and heat risk
Texas forecasters predict a cooler summer than last year due to La Nina and wetter spring conditions. May temperatures in San Antonio averaged 85.8, Houston 87.4, with officials forecasting possible 100 plus degree days late next week. Heat related deaths in 1998 spurred programs for free and discounted air conditioners, and electric bills earlier rose 24 percent in May to July 1998.
