I live in Orlando and travel to Tampa quite often and I think it is more humid here in Orlando.
I think so, too. Of course, I don't live there, but have visited Orlando often. The St. Pete area sorta stole my heart so no more Orlando vacations. It doesn't have a beach.
moved to asheville, nc after living 15 years in AZ and 15 years in CO and 3 years in Seattle. What has surprised me here in NC are the many summer nights that i can turn off the A/C and sleep with windows open...the humidity here does not seem nearly as bad as on the NC and SC coasts.
Definitely one of the least humid places where I'm at
We average 4-8% humidity during the day. Summers reach 115-124 degrees usually, but it doesnt really start feeling hot until about 108-110.
Most humid place in Calif (highest dewpoint rather) is probably La Jolla, or Huntington Beach area during summer. Dewpoints are usually in the upper 60's lower 70's... nothing like the swampy weather you guys get back east or in Texas/FL

That's still muggier than we "normally" are.
(without a warm spell or heat wave)
It usually has to be 85 F and stormy,
or 90 F and partly cloudy for us to get a dewpoint around 70 F.
*That's a lot muggier than I expected from SoCal;
I figured high 50's to mid 60's F would be the most the coast would see.
*Actually, dewpoints from the 60's to low 70's is probably "typical" in most of the Piedmont. (central Carolinas, central Virginia, parts of north/central Georgia)

It's ironic Broome is one of the sunniest places in Australia, getting 3400 hours of bright sunshine a year. Parts of the Kimberley can get beastly hot and humid in the pre and early wet: 95% humidity, temps from 30-44C...
I think you're missing my point... You do not have to constantly bash the city. What good does that do?
As for wondering how many of the people living in Houston really desire to live there - even if 95% of them left there would still be more people living in Houston than in Asheville, NC! And if 99.999999% of the people left Houston there would still be more people living in Houston than in Maggie Valley, NC!
Your constant bashing of Houston is not very appealing. It's far less appealing toward you than what your constant negative opinions convey to others about Houston... Think about that!
I wonder if people in London actually want to live in London really. We have a lot of iimigrants here who send money home to the eastern european countries and then they will eventually move back.
I think Seattle & Portland are the most humid cities in the US because they're technically in the Temperate Rainforest.
The Subtropical/Tropical cities on the Gulf Coast and the East Coast (Tex/Mex border to Southern New England) are humid but they're sunny, they get high heat indexes during the Summer.

We're humid here in Seattle - but rarely when it's hot. We get our humidity in the winter (and spring and fall) when when our rainfall totals are higher. High humidity and high heat together just don't happen that much up here. Almost always when it's hot the humidity is usually in the 30-40% range. Except for California and the desert southwest, virtually everywhere in the country is more humid in the summer than Seattle and Portland.
The most humid locations in Australia (as opposed to actual towns) would have to be Cape Don in NT and Sweers Island in the Gulf of Carpentaria. Cape Don regularly gets dewpoints in excess of 28-29C (around 84F) during late spring and summer while Sweers Island regulalry exceeds 30C/86F dewpoints just before the wet season (around November). Typical dewpoints there during the actual wet around around 26-29C / 80-84F) The highest DP at Sweers last year was 31.9C/ 89F on November 22nd.
Cape Don is already getting 27C/81F dewpoints on a regular basis.
