I am wishing to relocate to Alabama from Tulsa Oklahoma and was looking for a place with the least humidity within the state. I was thinking of the Northern part, but sometimes depending on winds, climate etc. that may not mean anything. I would like a place that has lots of beauty and outdoor recreation as well.
Any opinions or help at all would greatly be appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

Well, in some places it's 95% humidity, while in others it's only 90%. I'm really not trying to be flip, but humidity is just a fact of life here. However, I would say that the northern part of the state is generally more tolerable, especially if you live up in the mountains.

Placeofbliss, cpg is pretty well telling you just the way it is here.

Humidity is just here. Embrace the humidty. Fighting it is a loosing battle. Your skin will be soft. You will never have static electricity outside. You hair will be straighter. Or curlier. Depends upon your hair. You will learn to want a jacket when it gets below 60.

And who knows? Maybe after 20-30 years, you may get used to it.

Check out the Mentone thread. Selecting a new place based on humidity is not something I would do, especially in any of the southeastern states. You just have to learn to drip gracefully.

Except for when a cold front comes through during the winter, then it can get pretty dry.
