I do like Texas. Every city I've been to felt very different from the last.

But, in the state, it's so fucking hot in the summer. I have been in Texas my while life, and I've always hated the summer time because of the heat.

It is hot but this year I believe it's been hotter in Canada than the DFW area. It's been an odd summer this year.

Yeah, it's stupid how warm it is in the US and Canada this year.

But our winters (except this last one) are relatively mild.

I knew a guy from up north that had no problem with the Texas heat. He said “back home you stay inside for 6 months because of the cold. Here you stay inside for 6 months because of the heat. Not that different.”

I'm itching to visit all of Texas eventually. Live in SC, been here my whole life. Also can't stand the summer heat, but it's mostly the humidity that kills it.

All that to say when I was on vacation a few weeks ago, I overheard a kid and his family talking to someone about how they are from Texas and preferred the weather there in Florida because the humidity is nice, that the dry heat was worse than humid heat.

It is my understanding that that family was just going insane.

I’m not sure what part of Texas they were referring to, but everything along the coast and from Houston to Austin to San Antonio is incredibly humid and burning hot. El Paso probably is drier, and Dallas is only humid in the summer, in the heat.
