I recently moved to the more forested biome just north of Houston and the difference in the actual temperature is remarkable. The city core area inside 610 loop is sitting at 77F right now. My back porch is right at 68F. I am not even 60 miles away.
The hottest temperatures get to be about the same, but the trees don't hold heat like the concrete does. It falls off so much faster up here. It seems you can cool these houses with barely half the HVAC capacity that the other ones tend to require. Which is wild because the power grid up here is also much cheaper.
