The hot sun will do a number on me, but I usually don't notice humidity too much. Maybe because I grew up mostly in Virginia? It was pretty muggy down there...
I noticed that west coasters will often mention humidity during New York summers though… it must be a big adjustment! Score one for childhood suffering... maybe it immunizes you as an adult?
Does humidity bother you? Was it humid where you grew up?

I've only ever known hot humid summers and I still find them unbearable

I'm in VA & it's very humid! Like, walk outside, look like you've just taken a shower humid. While I'm fairly used to it I am definitely not a fan. Heat (dry heat) doesn't bother me one bit, it's the humidity I hate.

@MrsTiz: Same-- grew up in the north east with out hot humid summers and I still hate them. It just seriously drains me. I don't feel like I could move further south along the east coast for this reason-- if it's this bad in Boston, I can't imagine DC.

I grew up in NY and I cannot take the humidity. I don't mind the heat as much if it's dry, but humidity really does a number on me.

In WI living right by lake Michigan, our summers are ALWAYS humid. I will never et used to it though. I hate it! I hate humidity probably more than below 0 weather......and this is probably why I live in WI

YES. I hate humidity. I don't mind heat but can't stand humidity which is why I can never live in the South!

@MrsTiz: Hahahaha I have one but I HATE it. I call it the dreadmill. I only use it in emergencies. Ice storm? Tornado? Fine. If I have to.

Grew up in NYC and I hate humidity with a passion. I don't know that I'll ever get used to it, though I have to say that the summer I was a regular at Bikram yoga was pretty bearable because anything felt better after being in that nasty room!
First time I went to Arizona it was 100 degrees but it wasn't humid. That I can handle.

@MrsTiz: haha right?! I wonder what it would be like to walk outside during the summer and actually be able to breathe!
