Scientifically speaking, the eastern 2/3rds of Texas has a "humid" climate. It just ranges from one extreme to the other.
Most of the remaining 1/3rd can be considered only semi-arid.
BTW the climate of San Diego cannot be compared to any place, any time in TX.  |

I'm used to the humidity levels of Denver and Southern California, so my frame of reference is probably different. If I sweat walking from the house to the car in the driveway, it's too humid for me!
I remember in San Antonio walking out the door before dawn (5 a.m.-ish) and having my glasses immediately fog up, and the the car windows would fog up until the A/C cooled down the inside. Now to me, that's just too hot and humid.

I've always wondered about those 5 people? In upstate SC twin 90's are not unusual, 90 degrees and 90 % humidity, ... one of the major reasons I'm coming "home" in a couple years when I retire ... but, always thought I'd like Santa Fe, NM or Durango, CO ...
To the original poster ... maybe consider Marfa, and you can report back on the lights!
Good luck, y'all take care. |

As the map shows, the farther west you go, the drier it gets. |

From a gov't site:
The average annual precipitation should be a key indicated in telling you where the humidity in this state is located. |
