Hi,
Is it true that the DFW area is more humid than the Austin/San Antonio area due to it being on different sides of the mountain range??

What mountain range?

There are different jet streams that effect each area differently but not a mountain range.

When we visited in August during the heat wave, we flew into Austin and drove up to DFW. It was much more humid in Austin than up north.

Interesting, thanks for the input! I don't hold too much regard for the person that told me.....I guess there's not really a mountain range, LOL...

Hey, if you do find a mountain range that close to Dallas and it gets snow, let me know. Snow skiing is a big thing w/ us Dallasites. We could put in a place REAL close to Dallas and make a killing.

Default Making a Mountain out of a Molehill

Come on momof2dfw. You forgot the Mystery Mountain Range near Dallas. It is right next to Hidden Valley.

Humidity is not bad in Dallas at all. Been here 6 years and it is DRY compared to south Mississippi. Have been to Austin a few times and it seems more humid there. Not saying Austin is more humid, but I certainly don't think it is less humid.

LOL!!! Well, you do have one advantage......GREAT DFW airline connections to just about any ski area in CO....

Ours (MAF) just totally sucks in that regard. I was looking at flights to Durango. They're so convoluted and long with layovers/stops, etc. that you can almost drive it from Midland in the same time frame.

But...I wish we had skiing in TX, too.....

Spent three months in Dallas, June thru Sept. and thought I would kill myself and everyone else around me it was sooooo humid! Morning shower, go outside, need another shower. It was like this all day long. I never needed so many changes of clothing. Plus there were those big green bugs in the trees. Cicadas? Yuck! And the mountain range comment killed me! Flat,flat and more flat is Dallas.

I remember being in Dallas in August some years back, and I thought it was not so bad. The Northern VA/DC area is VERY humid in the summer. Everywhere I went in Dallas was air conditioned, and nice & cold during the day. I took my walks early in the AM or in the evening after the sun went down... not bad at all.
