I moved away from Austin in the late 80s partly to get away from the heat, and it's gotten steadily worse since: The heat island is more profound now that Austin is so much bigger, climate change is happening, and El Nino made the summer of 2023 in Texas unbearable. Keep in mind these temperatures are accompanied by very high humidity. And if you think the heat is uncomfortable in Austin, in Houston it's moreso.
