If I could have a tropical climate with a guaranteed breeze and a very low level of temperature deviation, then I'd be in heaven with 24/32 as a daily average and 90% humidity. The problem is that some of these climates are prone to hot spells, which is why some inland tropical savanna and monsoon climates are terrible inspite of great averages: 40C and 90% humidity sucks.
You probably mean 90% humidity when the temperature is 24°C and lowering as the temperatures go up; a 90% humidity at those daytime temperatures would be brutal.
40°C and 90% doesn't exist on earth and could possibly be lethal (dew point higher than body temperature?!)
I guess I'll have to lower my temperatures then. I love extremely humid weather; how the air feels right after a thunderstorm during a heatwave in the American south, where the pavements almost seem to be steaming. I'm not sure about the exact humidity, but I remember a great thunderstorm cooling off Savannah, GA from an extreme high of 40C down to a still fairly hot early-evening 30-31 and loving the feeling in the air, still hot but incredibly moist.
I'm not a fan of temperatures above 32C, even though dry heat can make them ''comfortable'' up to almost 40C, but where as most people seem to hate very humid conditions around 30C, I love them, especially if there's a warm evening to boot.

Thats exactly what i hate!!!
the steam, ugh!!! Its like being perpetually in the subway
Warm sunsets/evenings are the one thing we VERY rarely get in England, at least here in the countryside. Even after a 30c day, once its gone 7 or 8, its usually cooled down quite a bit and often a late afternoon sea breeze will have reached most areas, further making out door dining difficult. Then again, if it we did get evenings steadily around 25c, nights would most likely be too oppressive as the wind tends to die down and humidity rise. So i guess theres always a trade off.
Id like to see it be 30c at 3pm, not fall below 25c before 9pm, but quickly cool off down to 10c for the rest of the night, but rise immediately to 25c by sunrise. Not very likely.

That's one thing I noticed when I first moved to London having never lived in a big city before - the summer evenings just don't cool down so much in an urban area (London I suspect more so than other British cities), and if you do get 30C at 3pm it probably actually will be 25C or thereabouts at 9pm. I remember one 30C or so day in July 2006 when I lived up north sitting outside at a friend's place around 10pm and with the wind it felt chilly enough to actually force us indoors
I guess I wouldn't mind as a heat hater to pick the 80/72 to have as at most one month in summer, but I kind of do like the cool summer evenings in Colorado.
A 22C night with high humidity is severely oppressing to me. Whereas a windier, drier 22C is rather pleasant (what Caleb said). But just to be in the 'safe side', I'd really prefer 16C-17C nights really. They seem very comfortable, especially when you're warm under a blanket.
If anything, a 33C day with a dry windy 22C night is agreeable to my taste.
My forecast is 85/72 on Monday. Impressively low diurnal range for Kentucky if it actually happens.
