Can you give a definition of what you consider "low humidity"? For some it's in the 50% range and for those with any lack of tolerance it's desert-like conditions.

If you want mild summer list, don't title the thread "Cities with low humidity." Denver has both.

Albuquerque summers are pleasant when compared to Phoenix or Las Vegas. There might be a couple 100 degree days in June but with single-digit humidity, it won't seem so hot unless you are in the sun...at 5300 ft the sun will toast you even if it isn't really that hot outside. I suspect that most people have evaporative coolers rather than AC to put a little humidity back into the house for colling purposes. Humidity today is 14%.

I live in the Bay Area (San Jose) and while most of the year it's not humid, it gets pretty muggy during the summer months.

If you consider the Bay Area muggy, you definitely won’t be happy on the East Coast. The Bay Area is 100x better than the East Coast (I live in Bay Area, moved from KY).

Good luck with finding what you’re looking for

Wow, kind of delicate. I don't know what to tell you other than look in places like Las Vegas, Albuquerque, Phoenix or Tucson if you can't handle humidity.

My thoughts as well, if the Bay Area is to humid/muggy, one might be S.O.L

If you feel this way, you wont be happy outside a mountain or desert climate. Definitely not the East Coast or South.

I don't consider the Bay Area muggy (SF and Oakland are definitely not) but San Jose is significantly more humid than a lot of parts of the Bay Area.

San Jose is way more humid than other parts of the Bay Area. Also, I wouldn't want to live in cities that are as dry as those you listed.
