"Texas' June-through-August average of 86.8 degrees
was the hottest summer for any state in U.S. history,
beating a record set by Oklahoma (85.2) in 1934,
according to theNational Weather Service."*
Austin area is nearing 80 days over 100 degrees, and still counting. Not a drop of rain since July 19, and very little before that, barely 1/3 the annual average to date. And the La Nina drought will continue for another year, through winter and through next summer!
I fear we have long-since passed the time to relocate; already the many "For Sale" signs around us have sat ignored for years. Anything sold is sold at a growing loss. You won't be seeing Austin on many more of those "best places" lists.
