Well, I'm sure we're a little more humid than say, the high desert.
We get the heat lows comming up from California in the summer. When it's 85 - 100º, the humidity is almost always below 25%.
That's what I mean though. These last few days have been weird, an unusual pattern for the NW. Normally when the sun goes down, the temperature falls quite rapidly, until the normal low of around 55ºF, which is perfect IMO.
These last few days, it's been quite humid and staying in the 70s until like midnight. It's weird.
