Hillston. At the same temperatures, dry heat > humid heat.

Houston gets better cold snaps and better precip amounts, Hillston has better temperatures and overall conditions. I think I'll go with Hillston, just slightly.

Hillston because the summers are far drier, the records are warmer, and the overall temps are just about perfect.

Houston baby. Texas baby. Head on down to the gulf of Mexico where all the pretty senoritas live.

Actually a tough choice....Hillston is drought susceptible, as are many inland towns in NSW, although with the 3rd consecutive La Nina the countryside is awash atm. I like Houston's climate generally, ample generous rainfall pattern, and the Wikibox has a lot of red and orange re the average temps.....
Its those possible record lows from a 'Blue Norther' that tips my vote to Hillston.

Houston has humid and stormy summers and mediocre winters. Not to mention the frequent hurricanes and tornadoes.
Hillston is a B climate as it has comfortable temperatures year round and perfect rainfall amount and pattern. The reason why it’s not an A is that winters are not cold enough.

Its those possible record lows from a 'Blue Norther' that tips my vote to Hillston. I'm always a bit wary of Wiki climate boxes....often don't have up to date data. The record max temps in Hillston are higher than the Wikibox shows. The record low temps are also different to the Bom records pages.   For example the -6.0 on the 15th july has been removed from the BoM pages, as it is believed the instruments have been giving faulty readings for several months.    I can't speak for Wikiboxes from outside AU, but personally I always fact check Wiki AU data from official BoM pages |

Houston. Warmer, wetter, generally much more interesting. Occasional winter cold blasts are a small price to pay (if anything, they only add to the interest value of the climate).

Houston
Better in most ways, other than summer record highs and winter record lows.

Hillston I guess for the same reasons as Mörön and alex992. Precip does suck though. |

Hillston easily. Temperatures are great, shame it's so dry.

This is a tough one. Hillston has more comfortable summers but I am going to have to give a slight edge to Houston for having more rainfall and variable weather in general.

Hillston for being much cooler. Too dry though.
