Yeah the idea that Pittsburgh has more uncomfortable, hot, and humid summers than DC is downright laughable
If you say so. I'm just telling you what I experienced. Numbers and stats on climate don't always tell the whole story. 85 in Pittsburgh can often feel just as bad as 95 in other places. The rivers converging and the topography don't help Pittsburgh when it comes to climate.

Well, there’s a good amount of variability in weather, so perhaps you were there at a particularly muggy and hot week? When were you in Pittsburgh? There are probably weather archives and they can be pulled up to see if those drifted much from the average.

July 2015. Don't remember what days. It was either the second or third week I believe.

That summer was stormy in the first half and dry in the second half. Pittsburgh had 10.66" of rain from June 1-July 16, and 2.58" of rain from July 17-August 31. (Changing the time frames to June 1-July 15 and July 16-August 31 changes nothing.) In fact, Pittsburgh was dry until the end of September that year. You just drew the short stick, weather-wise. It happens. June is the wettest month of the year in Pittsburgh on average (4.30"), and October is the driest (2.29"). The months in between get nothing but drier on average (3.83", 3.48", 3.11").
Austin is a fun city with a good economy. It definitely has its problems (cost of living, poor transit, lack of legacy city amenities), but I wouldn’t call it dull. Austin’s problem is that it grew too fast, and the city leaders didn’t really do anything to improve the city. Austin is what happens when all improvements are driven by the market as opposed to government and philanthropists. You get a ton of “cool” stuff, but nothing that benefits the general populace on a long-term basis.

If you like music, football, and the outdoors, it's not dull at all. Always something to do.
