I grew up in a climate where you couldn't keep paper in printers because they would stick together, can't leave a bag of chips open for more than a few hours, etc.
This isn't bad at all. I haven't even put in my AC units yet.

When we moved here we'd watch the news and listen to the weather reports - end of July-beginning of August - and they'd be talking about how miserably humid it was and how bad it was going to be. After a few days we were like "are we missing something here???"
My mom grew up in new England and detested every summer on LI. When she moved to NC, I was curious what her take on the weather would be. She assured me it was nothing like LI - she was right.

Yup, I concur... the sun beating down is one thing, but humidity wise LI is way worse then NC. |

The humidity is definitely the worst aspect of the weather here. Compare a 90 degree day on LI to one in Denver or an inland part of California where it is hod and dry. You go in the shade and it's actually pleasant. Here the shade offers little comfort.

Same here. To me the humidity here is a joke. |

I went to HK and Singapore on the same trip a few years ago, and Singapore was even worse that HK. I was even sweating while taking a shower. |

Seriously! Gotta be a troll post. I've been in New Orleans in August and walked for one block outside my hotel and was drenched, the air was so thick you were swimming through it! |

That's exactly how I felt when I used to travel to Florida for work during July and August. The hotel is across the way from my company's building but it was like walking 2 blocks. The campus is made up of multiple attached buildings so sometimes you have to walk outdoors to get to another building. By the time I got to my office I looked like I walked through a sprinkler. Humidity was 80% at 8am and temps were already pushing 90 degrees. Needless to say, I never had a good hair day 
OP, I think maybe you're a little sensitive to humidity. This ain't nothin'. |

Perhaps I am sensitive to the humidity since I live in a wonderful, almost perfect climate now. Been off LI a while, so maybe I forgot how bad the humidity was. One day the weather was 65 degrees..humidity 100% it felt like it was 90 degrees out. The whole week the lowest the humidity got was 75%, with most other days humidity at approx. 95% |
