Review of Austin, Texas


Hot and miserable
Star Rating - 7/29/2011
The weather here is just awful because its so hot and humid from early June until late sept but the worse months are July and August. You have to wake up so early if you want to do yard work or to jog because otherwise you can get sick from the heat. I wish I never moved to Texas I really regret it so bad because of the climate. But move to texas to be closer to families but now they have move away and now thinking about moving out west like maybe Oregon or Colorado where the air is dryer and cooler. I thought about moving to Oregon many years ago and I should have move to Oregon and I don't mind the rain and cloudy days in oregon during the winter because its what keep it green there and they don't have drought problems like Texas do. Some part of Oct, Nov and March and some parts of April can be very nice weather but april and May we get terrible thunderstorm with large hail and tornado warnings its can be scary. Texas is okay in some area but overall its not a very pretty state because its mostly flat and a lot of desert west of Austin. Mostly west Tx is desert and some mountains until you reach EL Paso. If you hate the Hot and humid climate and want to move here is not the best place to live because its so miserable here and you can't do outdoor activity because of the heat. I am moving to Oregon, or Colorado soon just to be in a more comfortable weather and I do better in cold weather than hot weather. I am looking forward moving out of this miserable weather.
