"Better"'s subjective - some people prefer extreme seasons (Midwest), 4 distinct seasons (East coast), 50s year-round (Northwest/SF), or sunny/70s most of the year (Miami? LA? Texas? Not a lot of experience personally).

Not sure about Texas[0], but LA is definitely way less humid than South Florida. Don't know too many people who actively like humidity at high temps. Some may not mind it. But those who hate it, like myself, just can't stand it.

I generally hate most warm climates because they tend to be humid. LA was very nice. The nicest climate I've experienced so far. Haven't been to Northern California though (I imagine it's roughly the same but cooler, so may like it more).

[0] seems like the problem there is it gets much cooler at night, more intraday variation.

Miami/LA/Texas more like 90's most of the year
At least in Austin and North of there, you start seeing 90s in April but average temperature of 90F+ is Jun-September. https://weatherspark.com/y/8004/Average-Weather-in-Austin-Te... I can't speak for South Texas as I am unfamiliar with the climate beyond some occasional visits.
Unless you are very inland LA is not 90s most of the year. Heck, it’s not even 80s most of the year. It’s 70s.
Sheesh, I would melt - I'm a "4 reasonable seasons" person myself.
