Deep South (High Humidty + High Temperatures)
Florida (Higher Humidity + High Temperatures)
Texas (Lower Humidty + Very High Temperatures)
Desert Southwest- Phoneix especially (Low Humidity + VERY VERY high temperatures + Huge Urban Heat Island-----temperatures do not cool off at night.)
Any place that averages more than 65% relative humidity combined with 95 F or higher daytime highs could be pretty gross though.
Anyone know what heat index that calculates out to?
However, to have the humidity that high, the dewpoint would probably have to be around 80 F.
There probably aren't any (or many) places in the U.S.A. that are that hot and humid, on average.
The hottest weather I can remember experiencing is the low country of South Carolina. But this makes their colder months very pleasant. Every place has its pros and cons. We were on Edisto Island in August. The heat index was 115 and the humidity was absolutely oppresive. The outside swimming pool reminded me of dishwater. I plan to go back there, but in the early Spring when it is cold everywhere else.

I too have experienced heat index of 115 F in S.C.'s Low Country, but I still don't know of this oppressive heat you talk about.
I wish some part of Canada could stay that hot all summer, I'd never need a coat.
I'd die if I had to endure Seattle "summers". I get pissed off when we have 1 or 2 days in the low-mid 70's here in summer, let alone living in a place where that is considered "warm" for summer.

You must be young. It didn't bother my children either. They went to the beach. We got in our air conditioned car and drove to Savannah for lunch. I think I might have had a heart attack if I had stayed out in that heat very long.

It's supposed to be -4 f. tonight. I'm dreading summer already.
For me, summer is bad anytime it gets above 70 or so. The worst part is when you walk outside in the early morning, and it's 80. My dream is to need a jacket in July.
The only outdoor activity I can tolerate is sitting at a baseball game, in the shade of course, with the largest soda pop they make... If the temps are in the 90's, that game will be viewed at home in the air conditioning... they'll have to get my money on a cooler day.
