Humidity because it prevents the sweat from evaporating and cooling you off how it’s supposed to. 75 and muggy is always worse than 85 and arid.

Also, humidity keeps it hotter at night whereas in dry heat you get respite as soon as the sun goes down

Fully agree. I hate both passionately but I feel like the “cool” humidity is just messing with your head as well. Like how do you dress for the day
