I grew up in, for the most part, and still live in Texas and hate our summers. I thought it was the humidity. Then I spent the summer with a friend in Phoenix and I don't like xry heat either, lol. I guess in the future Ill just crank up the ac and venture out only when I need to.

I do my summers in the we_side of PNW, only to get threatened by wildfires for the last month...

Hill Country TX is still fine for the 200+ days / yr I don't like 'soggy'.

Even the PNW is getting too hot in summer, so South America or NZ are options... Tho Colorado was great this summer (I got chased out of Colorado in the 1970's due to too many Texans arriving...). MT has too many fires in summer. (As did Canada this yr.) AK is still pretty nice in Summer, especially if you can land a $30k fishing job for 6 weeks. (My kids and coworkers did that during college) Other kid did Wildland firefighting (hot way to make $30k in 8 weeks).

I have never had a house or a car with A/C, so I end up leaving TX about April 14. Will be building a 'rammed earth' home in TX soon, hopefully it will be cool enough to survive.

More of these studies really need to pay close attention to the HP cap that develops over inland Texas during summer, including mean position over the years, and any possible changes that could come with climate change. That thing is responsible for the heat and dryness that plagues much of the state during summer, so future summers in the state could either be hotter/drier or rainier/cooler, depending on where it shifts.
