Not to be contrary, but I would suggest you look at the dew point as a measure of your likely discomfort. The difference between dew point and relative humidity is explained here:
Wx Savvy | Science

You can compare your discomfort with differing dew points by noting how you feel in your home town when the dew point is 50 vs 60 vs 70. Much of the summer months the dew point is over 70 here. As others have said, it is sweat season. You learn to tolerate it, or stay inside. Come down for a visit in August to you can judge it at its worst. Like any other place you consider, there are pluses and minuses. The dew point here is a minus, but is far outweighed by the positives.
