- usaar333 6y agoWell, Austin is humid and really hot. Reno arguably is better weather wise, given proximity to Tahoe. But a lot of this is network effects. University of Nevada doesn't have the CS strength of University of Texas, so you don't have such a strong tech scene.
- jdhn 6y agoHonestly, it's probably cooler there in the summer than Austin due to the elevation. It also gets legitimately cold in Reno with snow that will stick around longer than a day.
- ac29 6y agoThe average high temperature in the hottest month is only slightly above 90. Reno isnt a particularly hot city. The ~4500 foot elevation keeps temperatures cooler than you might think as compared to other parts of Nevada.
