I would think climate would make some difference compared to California. I wonder how much though.

Texas is HOT, and humid in parts, with barely a breeze. California in the Northern parts is not that hot, and all of coastal California has a nice ocean breeze keeping things cool.

NorCal gets plenty hot off the coast: https://www.wunderground.com/ndfdimage/viewimage?type=temp&r...

Northern California is not that hot because (with exception of today) it is not humid.

I think you're right. Average annual high temp in Dallas is 77 degrees F. It's 64 for San Francisco. Obviously would need more analysis, but there's certainly much difference between the two northernmost significant cities. Though the article cites mostly industrial use as the difference.

Is average annual high a useful measure here? When the high is around 77° during those amazing couple of weeks in March and October in I never have to turn on the heat or AC. The AC is running all day in July and August though; especially the 50% of days hotter than the average high of 95°.
