San Antonio is humid, period.
But it looks like some can tolerate it & others have a difficult time with it.

I usually will do things outside in the early morning or late evening.

And I used to belly-ache that it was pretty hot & humid until I spent one year in Guam !

It was so humid, I could see the rain coming down like a wall across from one side to the
other.
I had to brush my shoes daily or mildew would form inside each day.
I needed a light bulb 24/7 inside the closet, otherwise the clothes would smell bad.
There was no bags of potato chips.
They were packed in a sealed canister otherwise the humidity would make them soggy.

Breathing was heavy & I always felt my clothes wet on me.

And now ....I love San Antonio & it’s not for everyone but for me it’s grand !

Doesn't seem humid in SA to me. I've never had moisture on the outside of my windows, or much dew on the grass in the morning. My patio furniture is not moist in the mornings. Those are the kinds of things That happen with high humidity.
And the air rarely has that thick, heavy feel that was common in other places I've lived. I enjoy the weather in SA!

Hope you pick the spot because a 10 mile difference can be 30 degree difference.

In the words of Jackie Moon, performing his hit single "Love Me Sexy", in the blockbuster film "Semi Pro", swamp sweaty. However, you don't have to shovel sunshine, or humidity.

I moved from Florida to Texas back in 2011 for a consulting job. I loved San Antonio.
It's not as humid as Tallahassee, Miami, Orlando, Panama City, etc. To me, San Antonio was
more like Eastern Arizona - actually kind of dry sometimes. The oak trees and cacti look a lot
like Eastern Arizona and Western New Mexico. But it's relatively more humid than those areas.
However, Florida is far more horrible for humidity. San Antonio was just right for me.
I almost moved back over a year ago and was about to get hired but got an offer faster in
Phoenix, so I moved back to my home state of AZ.

Thanks to growing up in a military family and then a 42-year DoD civil service career I’ve lived in 17 states and three foreign countries. States range from Florida to Washington and several in between. Worst humidity was clearly Orlando, Florida. Coldest was Fairfax, Virginia just outside Washington, DC. Best overall weather was San Diego, California. Obviously there are other considerations for best place but those aren’t weather driven.

If you don't like humidity San Antonio is not the place. This place gets unbearably humid to the point where it's insane, our summers are Winters pretty much everyone stays indoors you'll feel sticky and nasty all day that's if you don't get killed by the mosquitoes

Aww. You must live in a crappy Southside neighborhood.
