Hello everyone! Considering a move to Dallas from New Jersey. Don’t mind dry heat but I really really really struggle with humidity. Is Dallas humid? Please don’t say “it’s not as bad as Houston” - I know! But how does it compare to say New York? And if so, is it year round or just the summer? Thanks! :)

It’s not more humid than Jersey

Dallas is definitely not dry heat, and it does get pretty humid in the summer months, and when it’s as hot as it is down here you really feel it. Often times it’s not too far off from Houston’s humidity, that’s been my experience after living in both

Dallas is drier than New York City. Based on average yearly humidity it’s also drier than Austin. It’s not that bad in my opinion.

You’ll get used to it trust me. It’s not like you have to shovel snow or something

Silver lining - everywhere you go in TX (city and suburb wise), there’s central AC blasting in the summer/most of the year. I’ve been to NYC, Portland, etc. where they’ve had 100 degree weather and no central AC… and that felt worse than TX summer to me.

Hello! I moved from Jersey to Dallas and it’s definitely not as humid as New Jersey. Also only central air here which is wonderful - no longer have to buy/use an AC unit.

It also doesn’t really cool down at night in Dallas. At least in the northeast, it cools down at night

The humidity is bad for maybe 2-3 months. Then it's just hot.

The hot weather will be a MUCH bigger issue than hunidity

Wasnt that humid these past couple of days I took a flight to check it out

I’m from the northeast- it is not humid and there’s always a breeze. The heat is not nearly as bad as I thought. If you have a pool though that really helps!

My company is adopting Scrum and hiring a bunch of agile coaches to assist with sprints. We got assigned our agile coach that'll be starting soon.

I read a description of what this role is supposed to be for and it sounds like they'll be leading Scrum ceremonies. So they run the planning meeting, the retrospective and daily stand ups. Up to now, I've been doing those and it's taken a total of like 2 hours a week of my time.

What on earth do agile coaches do with the other 95% of their time?
