North America : Dallas, Texas
South America: Sao Paulo, Argentina
Africa: Tripoli, Libya
Asia: Islamabad, Pakistan
Europe: Seville, Spain
Oceania: Perth, Australia
Did you mean Sao Paulo, Brazil?
I didn't think there'd be a Sao Paulo in Argentina and the name sounds Portugese.
Bear in mind that the 67% mean afternoon humidity is the average between 12 - 6 PM (presumably). The humidity at 38 C is probably much lower. According to wunderground.com Madras hasn't exceeded a dewpoint of 28 C in recent years (the average being around 26 C, similar to Darwin).
You're probably right...
else Belem, Brazil might have an avg heat index of 95 C/200 F according to the BBC!
(34 C/94 F + 97% RH?)
However it is still impressive to find anywhere that averages a high of 100+ F (38 C) that isn't dry.
I would anticipate a dewpoint of at least 22 C/72 F for Madras in May.
I could believe it, if southern India has a crazy wind pattern that allows for particularly vicious heat indexes.
I hear Cambodia/Myanmar/Burma can get particularly hot-and-humid as well.
The only places I've seen in Australia with 38+ C highs have 45% or lower humidity at 3pm; dewpoints of 21 C or less?

I heard that the Persian Gulf coast can get very humid as well as having temps in the 40s C. Ditto for parts of Northwestern Australia.
But I believe these places are generally bone dry in the afternoons. However, they are prone to extreme humidity at night / early morning. Check this out, for instance: http://www.climate-charts.com/Locations/s/SD40416.php
Mean daily minimum humidity: 3%. Mean daily maximum humidity: 100%! With a mean daily minimum temp of 29 C you can imagine it must get pretty stifling.

I've a friend who lives in Doha, Qatar and typical summer average max temp is 45°C and it reached 50°C a few times this summer gone. Dewpoints are regularly 20-30°C with overnight lows as high as 38°C and averaging 33°C. How he manages I don't know.
North America: Flagstaff, Arizona South America: Ushuaia, Argentina Africa: Ifrane, Morocco Europe: Helsinki, Finland Asia: Sapporo, Japan Oceania: Cabramurra, NSW
There are probably better places, but since all of these places see snow in the winter and aren't that hot in the summer, I'm content.
Tough choice since I would be content in quite a few North American places, but I guess it would be a toss up between St. John's, NF and Ketchikan, AK. Northern Michigan would suit me as well.
Europe: Bergen, Norway (with more research I could probably find a colder counterpart farther north). Maybe Tromso or Vardo?
Oceania: West Coast region of the South Island in New Zealand (Westport for example would probably be suitable).
South America: Mar del Plata, Argentina (still need to do more research)
Asia: Not familiar enough to make a decision. Are there any colder, cloudy, maritime sort of climates? I'd assume I could find something in Japan, China, South Korea, or North Korea (not that I would want to move to North Korea ).

Are these really the coldest places on their respective continents?
And which is your pick for Antarctica? Vostok Station or Dome Argus?
Yes.
