It does get very humid here in the summer (dew points regularly in the 70's), and its the lack of a sea breeze which make it treacherous.

But you also have 50s dew points in the middle of summer therefore Florida is still better.

50's are very rare here in summer. Perhaps low-mid 60's for relief. CNJ sees low-mid 50's a week every summer.

It usually cools down significantly when a thunderstorm hits during the summer here, and the cool down often lasts for the rest of the day. On August 25, it went from 97 F (36.1 C) at 3:40 PM to 76 F (24.4 C) at 4:05 PM. After the storm, the temperature did not exceed 25 C the rest of the day.

What about NYC and Chicago when they get T-storms? How much do they cool down?

Afternoon thunderstorms don't happen here much. Mostly night, or early morning -like the one happening now.
