About the weather..

Austin and Houston have almost identicsl weather. Anyone who says Austin isnt humid is kidding themselves...humidity can be %60 in Houston and then %50 in Austin. There is not a real difference.

I agree. I can't tell the difference in weather from Houston to Austin at all.

The weather here is hot 5-6 months out of the year and really bad 3-4 months. The daytime highs will be in the 90's for the better part of 4 months and there are about 3 months where the lows don't drop below 70. As hot as it it, the worst part is probably the fact that it doesn't even get pleasant here at night like it does in places like CA or AZ. During the summer there is maybe a 2 hour period in the evening when it starts to cool off where there is a slight breeze. After that, the air is completely still, it is still warm and humid and the mosquitoes come out in droves. That said, the summers are less humid than FL and we don't get nearly as many afternoon thunderstorms as other areas along the Gulf.

The remaining 6-7 months here are ideal in that it doesn't get very cold. We probably only have 10 or fewer days where the daytime high is under 50 in the winter. One thing to keep in mind is that 40 or 50 here feels a lot colder here than it does in other places due to the high humidity. However, being from OR, the bone-chilling cold humidity is probably what you are used to. Still, you will see a lot more sunlight here in the winter than you would in OR.

Are you twelve? Did you get your parents permission before posting?

According to weather.com, Boca Raton, FL, which is where I currently live, averages more precipitation than Sugar Land by 16.2 inches and The Woodlands by 17.8 inches. Those differences are rather substantial.
