As far as I can remember it gets hot in the summer and cold in the winter. That didn't change this year, and not likely to next.



If you can't see the extreme weather changes from past years you are nuts. Here is the average weather in OKC. http://www.meoweather.com/history/United%20States/na/35.4675/-97.5161111/Oklahoma%20City.html

Last July 24th it was 95 degrees and this year it is 108. This year it started getting in the 100's in Mid June where as normally it doesn't get that hot here until late July or August. And I have a feeling if you check your weather records in Texas you have the same situation.
