Comically bad comparison - what did you expect?

And I complained about humidity in Minnesota. Until I regularly visited inlaws in Little Rock during the summer. Waking up to 85f in the AM,step outside and watch the sun heating up the ground and watching the cloud of humidity rising. Fyi, mostly pine trees in N. Little Rock.It felt like a steam sauna by the afternoon. I really don't know how people survived such heat before AC. The Ozarks did feel less humid but the heat is still there.

How does the Ozarks climate compare to say south Carolina?

Like say maybe the mountain view area? I can't or won't pay the NWA real estate prices so looking at some of the more reasonable areas.

Fairly similar or slightly less so.
Maybe enough to notice, maybe not, depending on what your'e expecting.
Arkansas would be good for something affordable yet kind of familiar if your'e coming from South Carolina.

I concur. I was a lot younger, when I lived in SC, I don't think I could do it again.
Mountain View is a good choice.

Not coming from SC, but I've spent time there in July and August. I thought it would be a good comparison of what to expect to use as a comparison.

I just took a peek at a climate site and on average over summer AR averages out to be a tad less humidity than SC. But it may or may not be a noticeable difference. Temps are comparable but humidity a little bit lower. Either way it's hot.

Yeah, I found higher elevations less muggy, but easter AR from Jonesboro south to Helena, Marion, etc near the big muddy can get pretty awful - West Mem too

[latunafish]

yeah, the delta and arkansas river valley is going to be higher temps and humidity.
