    Heading there on Saturday for a week.

    Having never been to the Lone Star State, just how bad is the heat there the first week of August compared to Fla., etc.?

    Thanks in advance.
     
  2. Next time you're in a public bathroom stand under an air dryer. That's what Texas weather feels like.

    Good luck. I moved to central Texas last year in the August heat and it was unpleasant.

    Write & UT: Thank God I'm only there for a week, then!

    You'd better hope there's no hurricanes around. They don't do a good job preparing for them:

    I don't know about College Station, but if it's any comfort, Austin's having one of the coolest summer's one record... they're also all under water.

    I thought the entire state was having a really cool summer? We've only been in the 105-110 range a couple of times this summer, after having it for 20 consecutive days last summer.
     
  8. See, that's fucked up. I live in a southern state that's been 98, 99 for the last few months now and I thought that was hot until I got on a plane and landed in Texas. That's fucking hot.

    Well, in West Texas we have one thing going for us: little, to no humidity. Though there has been so much fucking rain this summer it has seemed humid to those of us not used to it. Plus, I have had to get use to mosquitoes again after leaving them behind in Idaho.
     
  10. True. It rained the other day and instead of cooling everything off I felt like I was in a fucking sauna.

    The first time it rained after I moved, I was thrilled. Surely, it was finally going to cool off, at least for a few hours.

    Not so much. It was so humid, it was like being steamed alive. I was dismayed.

    Go to Dixie Chicken. Repeatedly. Have Shiner Bock. Walk on the grass. Refer to the college there as "M&A" in honor of the Ags calling the college in Austin "TU." And bring two shirts for every day you'll be there because you'll sweat a lot.

    Oh and read that.
