That's funny - I left North Carolina as soon as I was able to and I don't miss it at all.

OK, that was snarky (though it is also true), but my point is "to each his own." There's definitely a lot about Texas that appeals to a lot of people, just as there is something about NC that appeals to a lot of people. Both states are enjoying healthy growth rates and good economies from what I understand. So yay, NC and yay, Texas!

Texas heat in the summertime can be oppressive, but in the vast majority of locales, there's one season with a lot of negatives. Personally I really dislike cold, snowy, icy, wet, long winters, so for me the hot Texas summers are a trade off.

Drier summers in most of TX. That's my only real gripe. Some years it's so bad that all the plants look brown and distressed before fall arrives. You'll never hear me complaining about the humidity.

All places are not for all people. Some like hot some like cold. How wonderful we can be in the right place for us. I could not take the Texas heat we live in the mountains and it's perfect for us

I'm glad you like where you live and I like where I live. I don't care for the winters in the mountains of NC.

Extra humid here as it's raining every day. Its pretty miserable as I'm working outside building a barn. I am 75 miles inland from the Gulf in East Texas in The Big Thicket area. Lots of mosquitoes too. But, every summer is different. Depends on where the SW summertime high pressures plant themselves (right now it's over NM). Highest temps have only been around 95 and some days don't break 90. In 2011 it didn't rain here for 6 months and temps hovered around 98-100 in the peak of the day.

According, to my iPhone weather app, it's currently 98 degrees in Dallas and it feels like 110 degrees because of the humidity. It's so damn humid in North Texas that the weatherman called it "Houston humid and South Florida Humid". I'm not asking for a cool down, (because it's not going to happen) I just want the humidity to go down to normal levels...

It continues to be very temperate here in the Tyler area (northeast Texas) with plenty of rain, full rivers and lakes, lots of greenery, etc. My gosh, all next week the highs are supposed to be in the lower to mid 80s, which is basically unheard of here in August. I'll have to see it to believe it!

Low to mid 90s projected for the entire first half of the month. If it stays that way this will be the second mild August in a row. Hasn't been this moderate in nearly ten years.

Yes, the constant dryness is what goes on to make the summers of Texas (as a whole) truly lousy. And many areas still remain dry even with the heat and humidity, meaning that the climate starts to lose any benefit.
