Yeah, it's all about the comparison! I grew in in Virginia and have spent plenty of time in Houston (and lived in CS), so central Texas feels downright comfortable compared to those places.

LOL!! I guess to someone from semi-arid West Texas, every other part of Texas save the Panhandle feels like a sauna!!

When I was growing up (Indiana), I don't ever remember us having a fan. Indiana is hot and muggy in the summer. You go to bed hot...you wake up hot. We played outside in all of that heat. We were just used to it.

Lived in AZ for 10 years...TX doesn't know what hot is. And don't give me "it's the humidity". 120 degrees is hot even with no humidity. So suck it up Texans and get out on the lake.

It's not the humidity, it's the humanity...

I've lived in Southern California, Northeast Florida & Northeast Texas. I have relatives in Arizona, Kansas, Wyoming, Massachusetts, and several other places in Texas and have spent time in each of those places during the hottest times of the year.

Hot is hot. It's all what you get used to.

The hotter it is and the more humid it gets ... the more I like it.

I've got a new car, so therefore, my air-conditioning is raring to go!

LOL!
We had to buy a new AC for the house 2 years ago. I think I wore the old one out. It sucks to have to run it 12 months of the year!

I so agree with you! I vacation in Texas annually, usually in Aug...the hottest times of the year down there. However, I flew into Phoenix several years ago in July. When I stepped out of that airport, it was like stepping into a blast furnace. I NEVER felt that way in Texas!!
