Most hot and humid place in america?

51 Comments

Where in the US have you all found to be the most hot and humid?

I know that like Phoenix and Vegas regularly gets into the 110s fahrenheit during the summer months, some people argue "but it's dry", but 117 degrees F is still roasting either way. But, extra humidity still does add extra discomfort to the air, plus it's been scientifically proven that sweat has a harder time evaporating off of you in higher humidity, adding to your discomfort.

I think by my experience with where I've traveled to, the most uncomfortable places in the summertime are a tie between Texas and Florida. Dallas can get over 110 F in July and August, it's lows then never see below 70 to 75 F, and won't even drop below 80 F half of the nights, and it is more humid than the Southwestern states. South Florida rarely tops 100 F, but it also rarely has a day where the high is less than 90 F, and that combined with a continuous never ending almost 100℅ humidity all through the summer months, with the low never ever ever getting below 75 F between April and October, not even with all-time record lows. Getting even a second of cool relief is out of the question at least half of the year.

Where have some of you all found the most hot, humid, and uncomfortable places?

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

      Yes, both New Orleans and Miami have daily highs over 90 and lows never below the upper 70s or 80 between April and October, the high humidity keeps the unbearable sweltering stickiness 24/7 between those months

      Sticky and sweltering, it's horrible. Humid heat is worse than dry heat, unless it's like Vegas where it's over 110.

    I'd have to go with Florida... I've been to Florida with a buddy of mine. It was a sweatbox! Very hot and very humid.

    Still better than Vegas... That place if you ask me is not somewhere where people should live. It was scorching hot, 45C when I was there. Without AC and lots of water - you're doomed. Hottest place I've ever been to.

    My city in Bulgaria gets 40C in the summer, so I'm no stranger to summer heat, but Vegas was like a giant oven.

    Anyway I would assume other parts of the states in the south are also very hot and very humid.

        I was there for one day and I got sunburn XD
        Tho it was well worth it, cause I got to rent a Ford Mustang GT convertible and drive it on the strip. Felt like I was in a movie.

          Oh God, I hate getting sunburned! I think I've only been sunburned once while I lived in Vegas, because I was very much an indoor person in Las Vegas.

            Ah sunburn. I forgot to put on sunblock on the way home from work today. My ear was hurting, I had no idea why, then I started to feel hot in my car and finally put two and two together. I've now got a red, sunburned ear from a simple 15 minute drive home. Sunburn sucks. XD

            One thing about Vegas is with all the casinos, indoor activities, malls, shows, half the hotels/casinos have indoor connections, you're inside in the air conditioning so much that you almost forget how hot it is, until you decide to go to the pool or walk along the strip (the latter alot more people do at night).

              I probably swam a lot less in Vegas than I have in any other place, because I just hated going outside, I especially hated going outside during the day. The sun is brutal in Las Vegas; like a death ray in the sky.

        Yes, it certainly is an oven in Vegas, with almost every day throughout July and August around 115 to 117 degrees. And then May, June, and September is still upper 90s to 105 or so every day. I had a buddy who moved to Vegas to become a card dealer.

          It's 80° Fahrenheit here in Dover, Delaware. I honestly like the cooler weather here in Delaware even if I do miss the shopping in Las Vegas, and Houston. I also miss much the culture in Houston, there are lots of museums, and there is the ballet, the opera and the symphony orchestra.

          I guess card dealers make pretty good money in Las Vegas. It's a funny thing, I lived in Las Vegas for 15 years, and had zero interest in working in a casino. I think I would have liked casinos a lot more if I had been one of the lucky assholes who won a huge jackpot, but the thing is you gotta be in it to win it, and those massive casinos aren't built on winners. All of that stuff is built on the hopes, dreams and enormous losses of many, many losers. I guess I don't gamble, because I don't feel like making myself broke while watching those wealthy casinos get even richer.

          Sorry for the rant. I think I was pretty freaked out about the culture shock when I first got to Las Vegas from Jackson, Mississippi back in 2001. I think Vegas is a tough town, it's not the friendliest of places, and the whole time I was really turned off by the casinos, strip bars and other sleazy things that were normal in Las Vegas.

          I think if I had been rich I might have liked Vegas a lot more, because of the shopping, spas and shows, but I would never feel like wasting money by playing with it as much as some of the people there do. I do occasionally buy a lottery ticket here, and by occasionally I mean maybe once a month at most.

          Well, I hope your friend does well in Las Vegas.

    I went to Texas last summer and it was pretty hot. I don’t travel much though so there’s probably hotter places out there.

    I'm in a swampy part of VA and its disgustingly humid during the summer. But I'm sure New Orleans has us beat.

    Hawaii in most areas is pretty nice, year round.
    Desserts like El paso, dallas, vegas, phoenix etc.
    It gets hot, it dries your clothes and throat etc.
    Without water you'd die, rather quickly.
    The deep south gets hot, and humid.
    It's uncomfortable, but not likely to kill you.

      Yes, Death valley gets scorchingly hot and dry like Vegas and Phoenix. It's hard to say which is worse, the Southwest with 115 F and dry or the Southeast with 95 F and high humidity.

      Dallas may be the very worse with 105 F - 110 F and semi high humidity.

        I'll take humidity over the dry air, because I feel better when I can breathe, and my skin feels better in humidity. In hot, dry air my skin feels so tight, and dry, not to mention that it turns red, or pink.

        I have never been much of a fan of the desert. I'm a frog, not a lizard!

        Places like, Houston, New Orleans and Miami are what I think of when I think of high humidity, but I'll take it over dry air any day. The only thing I really hate is the bugs, like the big roaches and mosquitoes are awful.

        Tree roaches are terrifying. I like spiders though.

              Maggots are the most repulsive things of all, being automatically connected with vile smelling rotting meat or carcasses.

      Yes, Louisiana is up there with Texas and Florida, all the Southern states are basically the same from June to September with humidity never below 90%, days with highs never below 90 F, and nights with lows never below 75 F. Horribly sweltering and sticky.

            Yeah, Las Vegas is insane in the summer. Also I used to get bronchitis at least once a year when I lived in Las Vegas for fifteen years as well as chronic sinus infections from the awful dry air.

              When I got there I got a job at home depot on Tropicana. And for awhile lived in Southern highlands. It was fun at times and awful at others.

      Hawaii is usually seen as far from the worse place, most summer days are in the low 80s with refreshing ocean breezes, and winter days are basically exactly the same, it's the one state that's pretty much exactly the same same all year round.
