I can't deal with humidity At All. But then I was born, raised and have mostly lived in the intermountain West, where 90% of the annual precipitation was snow in the winter. Thing about dry climates like that is it REALLY cools down at night, or it used to: water vapor is a greenhouse gas and without it our dry air didn't hold the heat (alas, that has changed...). I loved the cool nights and brisk mornings we had, even in summer.
