Here in NYC it's at least as hot, but air conditioning solves the problem nicely during day hours.
NYC is above 90 for what, 10-20 says a year? I'd wager Austin is above 90 for 150+
Close.

Average # of Days Above 90 degrees: 111

yeah, that's pretty brutal.
I was in Austin about a month ago and it was 102. Their 102 is comparable to New York at 92-94.

It's still hot, but not the hellish kind of heat you'd expect from the numbers, because the humidity is lower.
