I spent my early childhood and most of my twenties in the mid atlantic area of the east coast. While there as a young adult I found humidity at summertime temperatures caused me to sweat a lot and feel lethargic. Dry heat, on the other hand, has always felt good to me although at age 71 too low a humidity leaves my skin dry and itchy. As I have grown older I have found cold weather more and more disagreeable and warm weather more welcome, regardless of humidity... to a point. I do not enjoy 90% humidity at 90 degrees F!
