HOUSTON, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Residents in much of the southwestern U.S. state of Texas are bracing for record heat starting this Mother's Day weekend as temperatures in Houston, the state's largest city, are expected to reach the mid to upper-90s Fahrenheit on Saturday and Sunday.

Humidity will make it feel more like it's over 100 degrees in the Houston area at the weekend, said a report from local media outlet mysanantonio.com, noting that most Texans are not ready for the heat wave which is forecast to have 93-96 degrees each day next week.
