I am currently in North Carolina and while I will acknowledge it is hot, and the humidity doesn’t help, it isn’t particularly irritating. It’s like a hug from the air. I’ve been to New Orleans at the end of summer when it’s supposedly bad but I enjoyed it. It almost makes the heat a little bit more bearable because there is something to work with?
I will take hot, wet weather over any sort of dry heat, anytime. Another Florida native here, and I am convinced all the water in the air is good for your skin. Went to Utah and felt like one of those dry apples. And my nose bled from the dry air!
I agree, humidity is good. Rain is even better.
