Sounds like Fear is a Factor for him in regards to California.

I don’t want to derail the thread any further, but please tell me what months you are comparing between Dallas and Brownsville and describe the climate difference, as you observed it.

Really the only difference is in low temperatures, meaning that it hardly ever freezes in the Valley. That’s why they grow citrus down there. Dallas has freezing weather that’s not unexpected. Freezing weather in the Valley is considered disastrous to the crops.

May-August in Brownsville. That is fricking hell. It is so fricking hot and humid that it takes it out of you walking two blocks. When the sun is out at say 6:00 PM, it gets close to the pain that you get walking down the street in Chicago in January. You got both the heat and humidity down in the valley. Sorry, but it never gets hot enough in Dallas or even Houston for that.

This quote makes me pretty sure you’ve never been to the valley outside of early spring or late fall.

Brownsville’s average highs in the summer are comparable to Houston and lower than Dallas.

Are you just trolling me at this point? Brownsville’s highs are lower than Dallas’ AND Houston’s? Have you been smoking crack? There’s no way you’ve been to Brownsville or McAllen, at least outside of the 3 months where the weather is pleasant.

His whole show last Friday was about UFC 249, but also Brendan Schaub's funny bike trail tales with cops and Covid fines,etc..they talked of leaving Cali every fifteen minutes. Schaub leans Denver,SLC,etc..hills and trails.

Rogan has talked of bailing for a few years now on JRE. Metallica Hetfield had a funny episode of his tiring of SF a few years back too.

You can’t read, apparently. Dallas has average highs in July and August of 96.

Houston and Brownsville are about 94. Houston and Brownsville have higher humidity due to their proximity to the coast. Brownsville is within the valley where it’s year-round subtropical humid climate.

Stop dying on your hill. First off I don’t give a frick about the temperature, just how that temperature interacts with the humidity. Brownsville feels absolutely as hot as Scottsdale Arizona in August. Every bit as much if not more due to how humid it is. To argue with this makes me think you haven’t traveled much of Texas at least in certain seasons. Brownsville easily is one of the Top 5 most miserable summers in the country.

Dude is arguing just to argue at this point.

No Texan worth their salt would up and act like Dallas summers are more sweltering than Brownsville

June, July and August

Dallas averages 92, 96 and 96.4 F with avg relative humidity of 65.8, 59.8 and 59.5.

Houston averages 91.4, 93.7 and 94.5 F with avg relative humidity of 74.6, 74.4 and 75.1.

Brownsville averages 92.1, 93.6 and 94.4 with avg relative humidity of 75, 73.2 and 73.8.

All three are in the Koppen climate classification of subtropical humid.

Dallas
Houstong
Brownsville

Based on heat index (the interaction of air temp and relative humidity)...

Dallas is 109, 116 and 117.

Houston is 114, 122 and 126.

Brownsville is 117, 121 and 124.

This is what you wrote:
quote:

Yeah, lived in Texas for 4 years. Dallas summers are nothing in comparison to most of the rest of Texas, especially not Houston.


And here is what I wrote:
quote:

I don’t really agree with that, and I’ve lived in Dallas, Houston and Austin (and never outside Texas). To a Californian, any heat variations would be negligible. It’s hot AF at Longhorn football games (it’s already hit upper 90s this year in Austin and 27 of 31 days last August hit at least 100). Dallas-FW had 69 days of 100 degrees or more in 1980 (including 42 straight), the highest temperature in Texas was around Wichita Falls (120) and certainly, Houston is hot and humid AF.

quote:

Houston is very humid but so is Dallas. Houston’s higher humidity makes up for the lower average temps. They are comparable.

This Mississippi guy:
quote:

You got both the heat and humidity down in the valley. Sorry, but it never gets hot enough in Dallas or even Houston for that.

Dallas might be the most mild climate in the state. Winters get maybe a week of below freezing. And after spending 15 years in both south Louisiana and Las Vegas the summers here ain’t sh*t.

Lewis Black put it best in this joke that apparently you don't understand because you've not visited Brownsville in summer:

quote:

They've gotta stop reporting wind chill. That's nonsense. It really is. I don't know where they came up with it, why they came up with it, but it's a lie. They come on, "Well, it's 27 degrees today, but with the wind chill, it's minus 3." ... Well, then it's minus 3, a-hole! I don't need to know what the weather was like if the conditions were perfect!

Austin’s average heat index in the calendar summer is 116, 120 and 123.

Keep telling us about these night-and-day heat differences across Dallas, Houston, Austin and Brownsville.

This is not like we are comparing Los Angeles and Las Vegas.

To a Californian, the differences will be negligible. Dallas is hot AF. Austin, Houston and Brownsville are slightly more hot AF.

The guy has interesting people on his podcast, but when he gets into politics the man is truly ignorant. Watch the latest podcast with him and Dan Crenshaw. He is everything that most modern liberals despise yet he said he would endorse Bernie. I don't get it and again he seems ignorant in politics.

Ah, the good old right leaning Moderate that endorsed Bernie Sanders, the furthest left candidate in the field. Classic.

Rogan is an idiot.

If you support Bernie, you support PC culture.
