Yes Houston gets hot but I was also in the Houston Bike Club, riding 10 speeds all over that part of Texas on weekends so heat just didn't mean that much to me. I'd find some shade and read very happily.
I live now in Arkansas and I'm older and less healthy and it's just as hot here in the summer although the season is shorter and the humidity not nearly as high. I still read outdoors when I can, which is less often now that I'm older, but I still enjoy it as much.
Reading outside is wonderful. I did it since I was a teen. I never got skin cancer and I spent a lot of my life in the sun. Life can be good if you let it be.

My wife lived in Houston until I kidnapped her and brought her to South Georgia. It is just as hot and humid here as in Houston. Her best friend recently retired and moved to Bella Vista Arkansas.
