I was wondering if there's any part of FL where it doesn't get crazy humid in the summer. Is it only along the coasts where the breeze makes it not-so-miserable?

Maybe in the Northern part ... but even with a breeze it may be so humid and hot that it is still uncomfortable to be outside.

Thank you. I presume the rainy season is when it's the most humid (please correct me if I'm wrong), so do the daily rains help cool it off any or does it just go straight back to hot/humid?

Yes, it is only along the coasts where the breezes make it bearable. Literally every other square inch of Florida is oppressively humid. Beautiful, but oppressively humid.

That relentless humidity is what finally made this Florida native GTFO of there.

It gets worse after a rain. The humidity climbs even higher, then the sun comes out.

We can put on as many clothes as we like, but can only take so many off. After coming to this conclusion, I moved back north.

Coastal locations (within a mile) are significantly more comfortable than inland locations in terms of both temperature and humidity thanks to the breezes off the Atlantic or Gulf of Mexico. A consistent breeze makes a huge difference!

its relentless and thick. We're sick of that and the heat and moving also like the previous two. The storms "cool it off" and by that i mean drop the heat index under 100 if you're lucky and once they pass through its twice as humid and twice as hot. The humidity can last all year some years and all night and day. Its the equivalent of pea soup 8-9 months a year outside

Anywhere there's a body of water it's a little better. South FL gets a constant breeze from the Atlantic(on the Gulf side it's a little less but still temps are several degrees lower than 30-40 miles inland).

People who can't tolerate the elements should not move to FL (they'll end up on City Data to complain). Reason the state is green and lush is the heat/humidity, so..gotta compromise somewhere..

No more humid than most of the southeastern U.S.

Check National Weather Service for actual values in different times of the year.

If you don't like humidity, Florida isn't for you. Personally, I hate dry climates and my skin gets jacked up, lips crack, etc. I love Florida and the humidity. If you prefer dry, California may be a better place for you.
