The early days of Covid-19 were a nightmare of packed hospitals and the constant wail of ambulances, the kind of apocalyptic scenes nobody wants to experience again.
Now imagine them happening every summer but without a pandemic.
A week after Hurricane Beryl made landfall near Houston as a Category 1 storm, more than 200,000 households in the area were still without power.
That meant hundreds of thousands of Texans had gone several days without air conditioning during a heat wave that relentlessly pushed heat indexes above 100 degrees Fahrenheit 38C.
The result was a health-care emergency with uncomfortable reminders of Covid’s worst hours.
This year may be the the hottest ever, but it's also one of the coolest we’ll ever enjoy again.
