Some of us are more affected by the humidity than others. And after my first full summer here, I now head for the mountains of NC in the summer months.
It really starts to get relentless by mid July when the afternoon highs are in the 90’s and 60% humidity yields a “Real Feel” heat index temperature of 105. And this trend usually lasts well into late September. To have that kind of heat in New England for even a few days straight is very rare. In fact, up there a "heat Wave" is defined as three or more consecutive days above 90.
But as others have posted here, most folks down here find ways to deal with it and would rather deal with this problem than winters in the North.
