CA isnt that dry either. A lot of our days can close in on 50% humidity too. Of course that's night and day compared to 90% humidity.

10% humidity is really something to ask for. You can't find that unless you're out in the desert really.

I'd take 90 with 50% humidity over 120 with 10% humidity any day of the week.

I actually don't know what is worse. I lived in PHX, and my relatives are in Tucson. I am used to the dry heat. But it can be pretty bad. Going to the river in August (Parker or Lauglin), it can get hot. But I am constantly in water.
Visiting other relatives in the south (Carolinas) and the east coast (NY, NJ, etc.) would be equally sweaty.
I hate sweat.

It felt better than the 98 we hit on Wednesday up here in Seattle, but we were around 50% rel. humidity with temps in the low 80s today and I did feel the humidity diff. from the usual 20-30% when it's sunny.

To those who think these temps and humidities are a joke compared to what you deal with, keep in mind that a lot of people in the Pacific Northwest don't have air conditioning. My office doesn't even have air conditioning, which sucked last Wednesday!

When I walked into work this morning at 6am with 80degree/80%humidity, I was looking forward to it only being 40%.

Your profile says you're in Pittsburgh. If you're not, then please disregard the following comment. If you are in Pittsburgh, where the heck did you get 104 degrees from? According to weather.com, it's currently 79 in Pittsburgh with 32% humidity, and the hottest it's been this year was 92 degrees on June 27.

Where I live, it's 88 degrees with 54% humidity and is supposed to be 93 for the next three days :(

Where I want to live (and hopefully will within the next 3 years), it's 76 degrees with 21% humidity, and the hottest day in the next week is supposed to be 81 with the lows hovering around the upper 40s :)

In tampa it is currently 92 and 52%

Been like that for nearly 2 months and will probably be like that for 2 months more.

BTW my car's AC has been broken for about a year.

Ahhhhh...that makes a lot more sense :) Woa! It's 90 and feels like 107 there right now! I can't believe the low there is in the 80s! Your weather is like Phoenix with humidity. I'm pretty sure I would die in those conditions. I guess I'll stop complaining about how "hot" it is here.

Anything below 60F is considered freezing to me.

I sleep with out a/c in the summer. As soon as the temp outside hits 80f we turn the air off. Only bad part is waking up with the sun on you, and its already 80+f. Ughh...that is horrible


on another note, just walked outside where its in the upper 80s with ~60% humidity. Felt pretty good actually
