As a resident of the mid-atlantic coast of the USA, humidity is a crushing fact of summer. But here's what's weird: A few years ago I went to Texas for the first time ever, in the summer. It was 105 degrees out. BUT! No humidity! It was something I had never experienced. You don't sweat. You feel heat, but you can breathe. Nobody smells. You don't need deodorant.

105 degrees in Philadelphia, I can't walk 2 blocks without needing oxygen, My clothes are drenched with sweat, and I can smell the wino on the corner from 2 blocks away.

It's much the same in Chicago with Lake Michigan right there.
