I've sat in high school football stadiums in late October when the temps were in the 30s.

Don't generalize. You'll get bitten in the ***!
Newsboy, I'm a fellow (now retired) colorguard/marching band geek. I feel ya on dealing with the heat and cold temps in those uniforms. I miss band...

I'll take Nevada's dry 114 degrees over Georgia's soaking wet 90 degrees ANY day, I've been there, done that.

Let's not sugar-coat Houston's summers, particularly July and August. The heat, combined with the humidity pouring in from the Gulf of Mexico is insufferable. Cities like Phoenix and Vegas are treacherous in the summer, but factor in the humidity and Houston wins the inferno war hands down. Fortunately, by October and all the way through April, it is pleasant, albeit balmy. If you can suffer through the long sizzling summers, there are a lot of reasons to live here. 6.3 million + people agree.

This has been a pretty atypical Atlanta summer, with not nearly the normal number of high-90s days. And today's weather?? 73 this morning, AC turned off all day, and now at 6pm the temp is a breezy 85 degrees. I'll take that weather any day.

Last year the temp exceeded 100 A couple of times...this has been a pretty nice summer in comparison.

No it didn't.

But yes, today's weather was A1!

Even September is bad. Temps still in the 90s with lows in the 70s until the end of September. September in that part of Texas is like a hot (but not the hottest) August here in Atlanta. It was confusing for me, starting class around the end of August/start of September in College Station but having to deal with unrelenting heat for at least 4 weeks of class. By the time it really started to feel better it was already October.

I don't recall the temp ever getting to 100 here last year. In fact last summer seemed a lot like this one - relatively mild.

Last summer was I think the rainiest or one of. It wasn't very warm. Now summer 2012 was pretty warm. That might be what they're thinking of.
