All your articles shows is perhaps we had the most days in a row of above average humidity. But do they mean above average for NYC/Northeast? I think not. NYC experiences above average humidity in the summer compared to California is perfectly normal. Was any of the humidity levels and therefore the real feel temp way above what we have experienced? Definitely not. And I worked outdoors this July quite often.
It’s not about it average humidity in the summer being higher here than in California. It’s about the summer here now compared to summers here in the past. People can have different experiences while living in the same city, but in addition to several people stating that this summer feels hotter, you also have actual record-keeping showing that it’s hotter.
I Am something of a weather buff and I have noticed a strange phenomenon over the past couple decades. A cold front passes through PA and NJ like a solid wall bringing serious rain and cooling. A few miles outside of NYC it splits (like Moses parting the Red Sea) with half going North of the City and half South, which both get torrential rain and the City gets NOTHING, no rain, no cooling. It is almost as if the City is covered by a resistant dome.
According to several articles it was humid continental, officially. But I will confess to have done next to no research, so maybe I'm missing something.

Watch for it.
Does anyone have any good guesses why this is so?
Urban heat island effect and/or the influence of a warmer Atlantic?

My air conditioner blew last August, fortunately just before the weather cooled somewhat. I fiddle-farted with a decision until mid-May when it was just beginning to get warm. I only beat the first heat wave by a day or two.
Only 3 nights so far this Summer have I slept with the AC OFF and windows Open, last noght being one of them.
Air Conditioning is the only reasonable argument for the existence of God.
