No, Austin doesn't have the early morning sauna effect I would say our hottest weather is from July to September.

You may want to play with this to compare the two cities:

Back in the day I used to have big curly rock-star hair and the humidity was no friend of mine, let me tell you!
I'm glad someone understands!

My husband could relate to the big curly rock star hair + humidity mixture. He still wears it longish and the tension I can feel around him when it's really humid is palpable :P It cracks me up! He just started throwing a cap on when it gets like that (although, for the hair outside of the cap..it makes no difference )

Ha! I gave up on that years ago! Now, if I go more than 4-5 days without shaving my head smooth as glass...I feel downright dirty

Absolutely blissful!

Austin is a LOT drier than Houston. When I first moved here, my lips were chapped all the time. Also, in Austin it is cooler in the shade than it is in the sun (in Houston there is no difference). Totally different world in my opinion.

Default Is there much of a Fall?

So is there much of a Fall in Austin? Being from Virginia, what I missed most when I lived in Houston was the beautiful Fall season where leaves changed, it gets a little more chilly in the air, etc. In Houston it just got cold and rainy and some trees would turn brown but not much of a Fall. Is it much different in Austin?

The seasons feel very similar to Houston. Austin tends to be a few degrees cooler. I visit Houston at least once a month, and it looks the same (only Houston is dirtier, smellier, and flatter). The humidity is night and day though and it makes such a huge difference!!

More trees turn in the fall in Austin, but not all of them. Maybe 30-50%. Red Oaks and such provide more color. And as you drive north, like to Dallas, the percentage goes up to like 75% and you get more fall colors.

I always kind of liked that year-round green in Houston. Very tropical and lush, kind of opposite of the impression that you get when you hear all the bad rap Houston gets.
