I think it's a little different. Houston by your account struggles in the afternoons today -- similar to parts of Spain and Portugal, but it's only at peak wet bulb ~75..76 F going by ASHRAE[1] data. Wet bulb 88 F is much worse, and 95 F is really when the human body gives up.
Again, this is wet bulb, not air temperature.
But if anyone has peak wet bulb data for major US cities, please share! It'd be an awesome resource.
