Nashville (probably the middle ground between a Chicagoish summer climate and Houston's, about on par with Richmond's. I'd rank Memphis between Atlanta and Dallas)
Raleigh
Charlotte
Atlanta
Dallas Miami (I'd rank Jacksonville's around Dallas, and Orlando's between Tampa's and Austin's)
Tampa
Austin
Houston
Phoenix
Most torrid
I’d argue Tampa is less bad than Miami. In the mornings it’s usually around 75f where I’m at in Tampa, whereas Miami often stays in the 80s and sometimes mid 80s overnight. Both are bad no doubt, but mornings are a bit better in Tampa.
Nashville due to its hilly and forested topography and its location is above the 36th parallel (lattitude) or northern terminus of the Sun Belt. Honestly, none of these cities are enjoyable in the summer months (daytime).
It wasn't on the list, but Reno is certainly sunny (probably more sunny than any city on the list,
except Phoenix), yet also has tolerable summers, owing to its elevation.
Abuquerque is not on your list (it should be)...
ABQ has the most tolerable summer and you can make it even more
tolerable by living east of Tramway Blvd...elevations are highest and
temps are coolest ...average summer highs in the 80s ...relatively low humidity too.
I'd agree if Albuquerque or Flagstaff were on the list they would be the most tolerable sunbelt summers outside of areas right along the coast of California.
The steady, relentless nature of Phoenix or Miami might make it easier to get acclimated.... I guess. Florida at least has beaches to compensate, Phoenix has... Flagstaff.
The rest are similar to places I'm all too familiar with. Places like those have few redeeming qualities weather-wise.
Albuquerque in the summer is incredibly tolerable. 5000 feet elevation downtown and over 6000 in the northeast heights.
