No, peter clearly described Dallas as dry in a post above, and the humidity levels I posted show that is definitely not the case. Average relative humidity remains above 50% all year long.
During July and August, Dallas is noticeably drier when those SW winds roll in and disturb the Gulf winds that are usually dominating. You also have those drier periods in fall where the sky is pretty cloudless, but this happens in Houston as well.
Dallas is dry much in the same way that many Upper South cities are, just with a lot less rainfall. It's still a humid city, though, with a substantial amount of greenery to boot.
Amarillo is somewhat dry. El Paso is definitely dry. Dallas is more like Houston than either of those two cities.
It is also definitely browner and parched compared to Houston as well. Houston is more lush and green throughout the year. Dallas, while it does certainly have much greenery, isn't as green as locales even to the in East Texas Louisiana, or Arkansas. This is not a shock. Dallas is a on a prairie. Houston is on a gulf coastal plain right next to the Piney Woods.
Ok genius, you did realize that I specified the night time in that post right? It is dry in Dallas at night and the overnight hours in summer. Maybe not during the day, but at night it is.

Not Arizona dry, but Oklahoma dry.
How on Earth is an average relative humidity over 70% "dry"? Help me understand that.
Actually compared with most of the Western United States it's still kind of humid. Not digging on Dallas, but it is what it is...... Humid
Again, I don't disagree. It is still significantly humid than Houston.
You can have two things that are both one thing, but one significantly more than the other. For example, LA and New York are both big, but one is bigger than the other.
No one should be jealous of Houston or Dallas' summers. They're both bad. So you look for silver linings. In Dallas, that was the evening where things were relatively dry and it cooled down. In Houston, it cools down but the humidity stays. Theres nothing to look forward to.
Just to clarify what are the top 5 metros. I presume it is...
Houston
Dallas-Fort Worth
San Antonio
Austin
El Paso.
Yeah but El Paso or the Valley area. hard to say which one takes the fifth
