Don't forget to hit Jim's Steaks on 4th (?) and South street for a cheese steak and a cold one.

I've lived in Maine and Rhode Island and have spent time in all many other New England states so I know what humidity is relative to us. I don't find it that bad, even when most people are complaining.
If you're from Southern California or the dry Southwest, it can be hell on earth. If you're from DC on south, it's nothing you haven't dealt with on an annual basis. As for New England, the humidity is probably about the same, but the heat is higher. When I visited coastal Maine in July/August I found it chilly.

Basically, if you will be in Philly during the hotter months (predominantly July and August), wear light clothes, keep some water on you, and be prepared to duck into an air-conditioned cafe or building to cool off if you need to. You'll sweat, but it won't kill you (by the way, if you ever visit DC, the same applies since their heat&humidity is a notch higher).
