When I lived in Upstate New York, the summer temps would be in the low 90's in August and you would definitely get quite a bit of below zero weather in February. Temp swing about 100F with extremes of 120-130 over a year.
In Houston, I don't think it went below freezing last year. It never goes below 20. Normally the maximum temp is 98. So a regular yearly swing is around 70F, with Extreme swing being about 85F.
Late May through middle September is oppressive with the humidity. But really no worse than living through a Winter in upstate NY.
My pool is 81 F already. It has been above 70 for 4-5 weeks! It will be "open" until November.
Austin, the "swing" will be a little more, higher in the summer, a little lower in the winter, but the humidity is not there. Cost of living is higher. But there are lakes, and hills and it is a very nice area. Very good tech sectors. Manufacturing is in Houston.
