Most humid town in your state/country?
In Australia the most humid town is probably Broome, which is sits on a peninsula in an area where sea temps can reach 33ºC in summer. Dewpoints above 27ºC are common.
In Victoria in terms of highest dewpoint it might be Phillip Island.

I would think San Diego would be the most humid part of California. Even though the Northern CA coast is really foggy much of the year and receives a lot of rain and has a high relative humidity % wise but b/c it's cool year round and dewpoints rarely to almost never exceed the upper 50's there. Southern Ca is the only place in CA that regularly has dewpoints in the 60's in summer and sometimes the low 70's. But either way it's never really that bad except maybe in the desert during monsoon season.

I don't know if there's a specific town that's the most humid, but southern East River is the most humid in my state. Pierre, our state capitol often has the hottest temps. But ironically, I believe our record high was tied by a small town in northwestern So. Dak.

here in FL, everywhere is very humid, however the most humid part of the state is probably the Everglades, or where I am now. In GA, the most humid town was probably either Waycross, Jesup, or Hinesville, or maybe Savannah.

probably either Willmington, Jacksonville, or Fayetteville. The mountains of western NC isn't as humid as the eastern section of NC, but still very humid, although usually between 10-20 degrees cooler

At least in North Carolina you have beautiful scenery to look at, and the mountains where the air is cooler. |

I'm in the mountains of North Carolina. It is humid! And with the increased elevation here the sun (when it's out) is more intense. It may be a few degrees cooler than the piedmont area of NC, but it can easily get into the 90s...much like Houston. And with pretty high humidity too. Ya know - it's summertime! It's supposed to be hot......
As for the mountains - they're just kinda there... Yeah, they are rather pretty to look at, but they quickly become nothing more than something to block the view and the sky. If the NC mountains were so great you would see cities like Asheville, NC with huge populations...but that is definitely not the case. Nor is there any area of the mountains that have much of a population... Wonder why!
The western NC mountains is a great place to spend a little time. At least in Houston you have a LOT of things to do. Up here - there's not much to do except to look at those same ol' mountains...
