cool thread, I was just talking to a co-working who just got back from Las Vegas. I was like 'Holy moly, wasn't it hot?" and she said that it felt just as hot as when it gets to be like 90 here in Minnesota, but each day she was there it was over 105
I like some humidity, preferably dewpoints in the 60's with temps in the 70's or 80's. I think Hawaii has the perfect amount of humidity and San Diego/SoCal coast during summer is pretty damn good as well with dewpoints in the 60's. Yesterday we had thunderstorms in the East County and it actually rained a little at the coast, which is rare during summer and it reminded me of Hawaii b/c it was a warm rain, which isn't common in CA. It was 80 today at the beach with slight humidity, low 60's dewpoints, which is PERFECT to me. Dry Heat is overrated imo.
Plus humidity helps make for warm summer nights, right now it's around 70 and perfect. That's one thing I dislike about summer in the Bay Area, unless it's 95+ during the day the nights are too cool/cold imo.
Dew points exceeded 70 yesterday in several coastal and desert towns; that's about as bad as it gets in Southern California.
Dry heattt. Humid heat suck. That's why I could never live in Houston.
Believe me I didn't move here for the environment. This is where I got a job after college. I was like most people; following the money trail. Most people don't live where they would really like to live they live where their job is. It's a nice, cool 72 degrees in my house.
I think it depends on the individual. I tend to sweat easily and have slightly moist skin so I would prefer it to be on the drier side.
Georgia is wedged between two oceans so of course it's going to be humid. However, there are benefits as well. All that humidity makes the area very lush and green with a great abundance of trees. It's also cool to be able to easily vacation or weekend on either the Atlantic or the beautiful beaches of the Gulf.
It depends, if you live in TX or LA the humidity is awful.
But if you live in FL where the humidity matches the scenary it's acceptable. lol
I dont know really, dry heat is more my thing, but I actually like humidity also... sometimes.

The humidity in FL is worse than the humidity in most of TX or LA. If you don't like the humidity in TX or LA then you definitely won't like it in FL either.
I lived in Savannah Georgia for 2 years when I was 19-21. I liked a lot of it, except for the humidity. Oh Lord, it's like you've gotta wole blanket around you all day. You sweat like f*cking crazy. I 'member sweatin' like a pig out workin' in the fields in Georgia (worked on a plantation out there.) I'm from the Rocky Mountains, so that's probably why I hate humidity so much, but seriously. It's wet & thick, & it makes it hard as hell to stay cool.
Wyoming is dry as a bone. If you're out in the fields all day here, you still sweat. But let me tell ya, it feels damn good to be able to stand underneath a tree. It's like you just stepped in an icebox. In humid places, standin' under a tree don't get ya away from the sweltering wet heat. & when you take a deep breath in dry heat, you don't taste the air. In humidity, it tastes like someone's sweating in your mouth. (GAG.) When you're in dry heat, all ya gotta do is pour a little cold water over your head & you're officially refreshed. In humidity, you pour water over your head & it just feels like more sweat is runnin' down your face.
Georgia is greener & more lush, (as someone else said earlier,) but that heat they've got down there is freakin' miserable. Holey ****!
