Absolute no brainer.

Humidity.

Was 80 today, and was uncomfortable working outside. Has been 88-90 with no humidity with a breeze and has been pleasant.

A big factor for me is there is usually no good breeze when it's humid.

As much as I hate humidity while working.. I do like it a lot at night.

Humidity by a lot. It gets HOT here during the summer, but when I wind up back in the south it's like I can't breathe.

Having said that, I would still rather it be hot and humid than cold.

Humidity for sure.

The most humidity I ever felt seemed to always be walking out of the football locker room during two a days. Right when you walk out that door into the open a wave of heat hits you and you immediately begin to sweat. It was the worst

Humidity, no contest.

I can stay outside in 100+ degree temp. all day if humidity is low & be fine, but cannot deal with suffocating, high humidity. I'll never get used to BR summers, which last half the damn year.

Humidity is much worse. When I lived in Las Vegas, I would sometimes go back home and I wouldn't be able to breathe leaving the airport.

Somewhere like Kuwait in August is fricking brutal. Hot as frick with humidity. I saw a thermometer over 140 degrees one time. Absolutely ridiculous.

Anything over 80 is hot.

I'd take 25 degrees and calm over 90 degrees any day.

Humidity completely sucks. It makes 80-100 degree days terrible. But if you felt dry heat of 110-120 degrees then 90 with humidity ain't that bad.

I lived in the desert of Cali, right long the Arizona border, in Blythe for a while. I'll take that any day. It averages 109 there in the summer, and I'd take it over humid heat at 85 every day of the week.

This right here.

Hot and dry is tolerable because your body's cooling mechanism (sweat) actually works properly.

Hot and humid is absolutely miserable and sometimes cool and humid is pretty damn uncomfortable.

95 degrees sucks, humidity or not, though it's worse with humidity.

Humidity makes the air feel heavy. It's the worst.

It makes the air stagnant. Hard to breathe...

In South Alabama it's ALWAYS super-humid and very hot. So there's no real distinction between the two.
Yep. Summer sports were always the worse

I lived in Oxford and have spent some time in Memphis. You people don't know humidity. You may see each other out at the bar now and then, but she's our house guest 12 months out of the year.

Ideal temp is between 73 and 76 for me. You can hear it up 5 to 10 tops if I have plenty of cold beer. Likewise you can cool it down 5 to 10 if dark liquor is readily available.

Ya I was thinking about sitting on the porch in the shade with a drink in my hand. Which is exactly my plan for the majority of this weekend.
