In my region in summer when temperature is around 30c relatively common is high humidity, and then feels is like is much warmer. Days of about 30c with high humidity are the hardest to me. When temperature is for example is 34-35c humidity is usually low and it's more tolerable than on few C lower temperature with high humidity.
My mother was born in Knin and spend large part of life there. She say that in Knin in summer feels of heat is mostly lower than here where we live due to lower humidity despite in terms of temperature Knin has warmer summers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knin#Climate
In winter in Serbia feels is mostly that it's colder than what is temperature due to two factors, high humidity and Košava wind https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Košava_(wind)
One Canadian guy who lived few years in Serbia say that in Canada is more confortable on -10c than in Serbia on 0c. I don't know exactly from which part of Canada is he.
Oh I see... yes, this higher humidity can make 30c tough. I'd have to run A/C even when it's 22c outside when it's pretty humid like that. I wonder if A/Cs are widespread.
Vranje not only has lower humidity but much more hours of sunshine than Požega.
As to Knin - it's close to the sea... I had seen climate map that show drier Mediterranean climate belt right along the sea coast, and wet moderate with hot humid summers climate inland.

Knin has modified Med climate.
That type of climate exist in the places in western Balkan which are several tens of km from the Adriatic sea and open towards the sea (not blocked by mountains). Temperatures are lower than on the coast (in winter still closer to coastal places than those deep in continent), temp. amplitudes are bigger, there is less sunshine hours than on the coast, and there is more percipitation than on the coast.
Split as coastal Dalmatian city for cimparation with Knin from hunterland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Split,_Croatia#Climate
Mostar has similar climate and position towards the Adriatic sea as Knin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mostar#Climate
Some places in western Balkan are close to sea but they are blocked by mountains, and because of that they don't have Med influence like Gospić for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospić#Climate

Percentage humidity doesnt mean anything without temperatures so it is better to talk with dewpoints.

I see. Makes sense as these places tens of km away are more continental versus ones right on the coast, and the mountains near them cause more moisture to fall as precipitation. I wonder, though, why places like Knin, which are closer to the sea and more open to it, have lower humidity than places much further inland, in Serbia?
Maximum: 16.9C
Minimum: 11.1C
Rain since 9am: 2.8mm
Only 3 recording above 15.0C at Jandakot today and it still managed to jump to 16.3C. Most of the day was spent in the 12-15C range. Coldest maximum for Jandakot since September 19th 2019.
A very cold, mostly cloudy, showery and blustery day for early May! Dews variable and unpredictable but usually in the 6-10C range. Winds W 35-55km/h (gusts up to 87km/h) tending W/SW 30-50km/h in the late morning easing W/SW 20-40km/h in the afternoon, turning S/SW 15-25km/h in the evening.

I find "weatherspark" tool to be very useful in figuring out actual effect from humidity on one's comfort level, especially "Humidity Comfort Level" section that's available for each location. They have "dry"/"comfortable"/"humid"/"muggy"/"oppressive"/"miserable" indicator with chart.
Humidity
We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

Knin has lower humidity because it's located on karst, and there is no significant water around except one small river.
In former Yugoslavia the lowest humidity have places which are on karst.
