So maybe this is a stupid question but is there an area in TX that is not very humid in the summer? I lived in East Texas years ago and it was humid of course. I'm wondering about the College Station or Ft Hood area? I can stand dry heat with A/C but not high humidity. I SO want to move back to TX from Maine.

thank you

Anywhere 50 miles (give or take ) west or further from I-35.....

Lubbock, Amarillo, San Angelo, El Paso, Midland, etc.

Also, your definition of 'not very humid' may be different than others. East TX is VERY humid by most peoples estimation, so San Antonio, Dallas, and Austin are less humid, but may still be too humid for your likes....

From someone who has spent a lot of time in the summers in College Station, it can be quite humid. Not quite as bad as Houston, but humid.

I live in houston so austin and san antonio seem very dry to me it just depends on your humidity tolerance. I lived in san antonio for a few years and visited austin frequently. As I was complaining about how dry it was in the summer the locals were complaining about how humid it felt.

Having lived a couple of years in Bangor, Maine I can see wanting to be in Texas from November thru May. Maine summers are awesome though ... both weeks of it!

Fort Hood is somewhat humid, but it's drier than east Texas. But if you aren't forced to live there by Uncle Sam, its really not a place that people would otherwise choose to live...

Look into San Angelo.
