Santana Winds bring wildfires. No thanks! If L.A. was a little more humid throughout the metro area, there would be a minimal fire danger. Also the sheer dryness makes Las Vegas one the worst places to live and visit. Compared to L.A., some humidity is better than almost no humidity.
Today in Houston the wind was blowing dry desert air from San Antonio--another reason I am reluctant to live there.
Nice point. Before you said this, I could not think of a single reason to like humid heat over dry heat but certainly for preventing fires it makes sense.
Try living in wisconsin where the humidity is always close to 100%. Florida is wonderful, has a perfect 40 to 60% Dry heat gives me nose bleeds.
Uhhhh. What?
WI is not nearly as hot, nor as humid, as FL. And the length and longevity of humidity in FL is about as bad as it gets anywhere. You see, in the Upper Midwest, it can get humid, but only for a few days at a time, then its punctuated by nice, dry, cool spells, something FL doesnt get.
Exactly. The worst humidity i've ever experienced was in Florida.
Try Mississippi sometime. UGH. Even Tennessee was God-awful. I came back to Chicagoland and it was in the 70s and dry and I was literally shivering.
Dry heat is nice, when its below 100 degrees. Being in PHX when it was 116 degrees was every bit as awful as being in Florida in July. Sure you dont sweat as much, but you still sweat buckets. And that hot, searing, non-stop sun for months at a time is ridiculous. In South Florida in summer its also ridiculous, but being on teh beach isnt nearly that bad at all, the breeze feels wonderful, and the water is to die for.

True, I like it in the 90's with low humidity.110+ is too hot.

^^He means Fl doesn't get dry or has cool spells lol. FLorida is the only state I know that gets 70's and some times 80's in the Winter.
