I'd prefer humid because I absolutely HATE dry weather and it makes my skin burn. Besides I like rain because it grows plants.

Dry heat feels better than humid heat.

But you have about as much rain in Seattle as we have sunshine in Phoenix.

Dry weather cracks my hands but I will always prefer it over humid weather. Both in heat and cold. In fact if the dewpoints were under 32F all year round, I'd be happy. Sub 20F would be nice too. Unfortunately this area gets too humid, too often

Dry weather all the way, humid weather is too uncomfortable at all temperatures.

I could really live in a semi-arid place I guess.

Rain is nice, but I don't need the air to be humid the rest of the time.

I want in the middle. Dew points around 60. Get sick of super humid summer with dews of 72 to 82 when we are in a reverse west windflow and have lows around 79 to 83. I would hate super dry as it would dry my skin out.
