I am hoping to move to RI soon. I put in for a good job in Providence, so please wish me luck.
Personally, I like the cold. I like snow. I like gray overcast days with precipitation.
I'm far more curious about how hot and humid RI gets in the summer months. I really do NOT like heat and humidity. I used to live in Oklahoma (unfortunately) and the summers are just not fit for humans.

As I recall (it's been 25+ years) OK summers were hot but not humid (It's a dry heat comes to mind)
We get pretty humid up there's always a week or two every summer that are really miserable, especially without central air.
If you like gray overcast skies and precipitation, you'll like it here.
Right now it's beautiful blue skies and 83 degrees- hotter tomorrow at about 90. Heat lasts here for a few months and it can get humid but usually cools off at night and is often more pleasant down at the shore.
I'm looking forward to some clam cakes and chowder and a breeze off the water........

Oh man, I don't know where you were in Oklahoma, but the years I was there it sure wasn't a dry heat. I lived in both the Tulsa and OKC areas. Last summer I was there we had three weeks of 100-110 degree days with 98% humidity and not a single breeze or drop of rain. It's just brain-baking. Can't breathe, allergens are killer, everything sticks to you, asphalt temps could reach 140 degrees.
Even at 2 or 3 AM you could go outside and see actual heat waves rising up from the ground.
I lived in Arizona for a couple of years too and it is definitely a more dry, livable heat even though the temps could meet or surpass Oklahoma's.

Sounds wonderful. 90 is still hotter than I like, but I can definitely handle that, especially if it's not a solid 4+ months of 90 degrees and higher with no rain.
Sure, sure German. Go tell it to the ghost of Sir John Franklin....
