And puleese, do not say Arizona. I am already there. This summer has been very humid and it's not a dry heat here anymore. Why? Who knows. Maybe because of the jet stream, or the constant influx of people coming here, or the many ponds and lakes, or the man up above who has declared this. Where can one go to live these days where the summer is not humid and horrid? Does anyone know??

I just checked the NWS for average RH% in June, July and August of 2015 in Phoenix and they were 23, 30 and 33 respectively. I respectfully submit the possibility that something besides the humidity itself is making you feel like it is humid.

Well it might not be what NC people call humid but AZ does get MORE humid during the late summer monsoon season.

Probably the best not-ever-humid-even-for-arizona-residents climates are microclimates, maintained in enclosures by the application of mechanical work.

Coastal areas. In other words, there's a reason why it's more expensive to live near the beaches.

I was pretty peeved the last time I was in Vermont... It was like DC in the middle of summer, swamp-like, and it was the beginning of June.

You made me curious so I looked at NWS again for the last few days. Yesterday was humid - 60%. A couple of days earlier, 24%. Checked a few; most recent days were low humidity. So every now and them there is one that is sort of humid, but I don't think you are going to find another climate that is consistently overall in a place you want to live (Antarctica is pretty dry, but...)

The per cent humidity is NOT what makes you uncomfortable. What you want to examine is the dew point, especially during the heat of the day. Anything under 60 degrees of dew point is comfortable for most people. When you are feeling like it is too humid out, make a record of the dew point at that time, and you will find what your limits are.
