Well, I lived in Southwest Iowa for many years and I have vivid miserable memories of 85F humidity. It's a suffocating almost panicky feeling when both are above average. I'll take it dry, especially with this often extreme Sacramento Valley heat. It sort of forces one to chose the morning and evening sweet light time of day.
