Austin

My husband keeps telling me that Austin is not like Houston and it is not that humid. I keep telling him that Portland is not that cold.

It seems we are at an impasse as to where to move.

I looked at the average temperature in Austin and it's in the 90's for many months.

I do not like to be outside in Wisconsin when it is in the 90's. I prefer the 70's. I would never sit in the sun. I think 85 is hot. WI does get into the upper 90's and it is humid but that is not the norm in the summer.

Is he correct or are my fears real? I looked at a map, Austin is very close to Houston. I can't be fooled...

It looks like Austin is more humid in the am than the afternoon which seems odd to me. We have the opposite. That would make it better, we ride later in the afternoon normally.

Thanks!

Austin is not the muggy humidity of Houston but it is HOT!!! I am a native for all of my 28 years (minus the college years 100 miles down the road towards Houston). It is way different from Houston being 200 miles inland but we sweat, a lot. In the late May until early September you will have to be on the bike early in the morning or get real acclimated to riding in 100 degree heat indexes.

I was a February baby, my mom took me home February 24th and had to buy something to put me in because my grandparents bought me a sweater set only problem was it was 84 degrees outside.
