Is there any difference in the humditiy between NC & SC? My family is looking to relocate from Alabama to Summerville. I'd imagine the humidity would be comparable to that of Alabama. I am curious if coastal NC (or outskirts) are any different. Yes, I realize coastal areas tend to be more humid.

I don't think the humidity is significantly different. However, Coastal SC will be a few degrees to 10 degrees warmer than Coastal NC, so South Carolina may just feel more uncomfortable. However, if you are standing on a beach with the wind blowing, it is comfortable in Coastal NC.
Edisto Island was not comfortable when we visited there in August. Temperature was 105 and with the humidity it felt like 115. I became dizzy so we headed for the air conditioning. Got in our car and went to Savannah for lunch at Dockside. Don't know if it is still there.
South Carolina is better in winter and North Carolina is better in summer. Summerville is in that Low Country hot as Hades area.
If I were moving to the coast along the Carolinas, I would choose just above the South Carolina line in the Sunset Beach area to just below Wilmington. The Outer Banks are beautiful but they can get some really bad weather. We stayed a week at Duck, N. C. and half the week was good and we saw and did lots of things until it started raining sideways for two and a half days. I had to dry my husbands clothes after he loaded the car in that sideways rain. It was crazy and we did something we had never done before, we lost the keys to the condo in all the confusion and had to pay $20. We thought they would show up somewhere but they never did.

Wilmington and Charleston are equally humid. Wilmington is significantly cooler year-round.
geez everyone here is acting like SC is some tropical place in south America in summer and NC is California. And in the winter you guys are acting like SC is Miami and NC is Antarctica ( maybe being overdramatic but you guys get the idea) warmest place in SC is not much warmer than warmest place in NC. NC and SC are climatically the same with the latter being warmer in winter by a few degrees due to it being further south.
