Be scared; be very scared. LOL I moved there in the '80s - in July - during a heat wave - with a car which didn't have AC. I might have thought that I'd died and been sent to a fiery hell, except that it was too humid.
You sort of get used to it after a while, but mostly, you just work around it.

To add an update to my post, I can back up just how humid it is and give you an example. Today, May 30th, the actual temperature is 91, the humidity is 60 percent, and the heat index is 101. It is very, very hot and this heat only gets worse as the summer progresses. Also, we are not forecast to get rain for the next ten to twelve days and each day the temperatures are going to be well above 90. Sometimes we are inundated with rain and other times it is very dry and we go into severe drought.
We have the humidity that sucks the life out you as well..all you need to do is stand and the sweat drips down your back..so we are blessed with that as well..AND we also have unbearable mosquitos at the same time..so it sounds like the only thing WI has that NC doesnt is.. -10 below and blizzard winters and disgusting nasty mosquitos.
As far as rain and drought that is US wide...in the summer of
2012 we had NO rain for 3 months...
We are looking now at KY its only 10 hrs for my kids to come visit us!~
