Lake Tahoe has pretty low humidity and the day time temps usually range from 75 to 80. It's always pretty comfortable.

To answer your question---Minnesotta has terrible humidity in the summer with lots of bugs!! Lived there 17 years and hated every minute. Hot and sticky in the summer and winters from hell.
Stick with the Pacific Nortwest!!

Gosh, that surprises me about Minnesota!
I just assumed it would be nice & cool!
Someone did once tell me the mosquito was the State Bird.

Linda, they call it relative humidity but they should call it perspective humidity lol. I agree with you about Minnesota though, their worse day in summer would still be like early autumn here.

A minnesotta day in July August can be high 90s with humidity at 85 to 90. Trust me, It's miserable

But what about Minnesota in Winter, The NW (Seattle/Portland) when it's always raining - hey NYC also has the "uglies" and we do get humidity of 100%. In fact when it rains you get humidity that high, we have it regularly and it's still 90+ degrees outside.

The air is so dry in Las Vegas, Arizona, Palm Springs that you won't be a happy camper when the mucous in your eyballs dry out and your contacts pop. Not a nice feeling. Don't throw away your frames if you plan on living here.

I hate the uglies, but as far as I'm concerned "air ain't air unless you can suck it between your teeth" What you get with no humidity is gasping to breath and horrors to your skin (aging fast). And even in low or no humidity places, you live inside with a/c everywhere, same as high humidity locales. Your house, the mall, restaurant, car, transportation.

Hey, it only lasts a few months. Suck in some real air!

I just checked AOL weather and Minneapolis is showing 79 with a chance of t-storms. It's also showing all next week to be gorgeous with the hottest day next Friday at 84. Sounds pretty nice to me! Like I said, early autumn here!

Whats funny is the real horror isnt the humidity its the dew point, yet they almost never mention it on weather forecasts today. Apparantly it seems it isnt the humidity that makes it uncomfortable its the dew point. Case in point last saturday on Martha's Vineyard they said it was about 90 with 81% humidity, but I still ran around as if I'd died and gone to Utah Yet it was probably about that back in New Orleans where it would've been more uncomfortable.

JON_ERIC I said it CAN get to 90s with high humidity followed by tornado warnings.
Okay, you win New Orleans weather REALLY sucks!!!!

Hey folks~ Try Kenai, Alaska. Yes, you read right. We have had a beautiful dry summer, temps in the 70's, and the King Salmon are jumping out of the rivers. I have a gorgeous tan, and I'm fair skinned(even with sunscreen).

Becareful about Kenai, weather is about to changeAccording to the latest weather reports they will be looking at rain,rain, rain. Check out Banff and Jasper with a stop at the athabasca glacier on the way to jasper from banff. you will love it.

I totally relate to the Richmond writer. I live in Maryland and despise the heat and humidity!! I can't run or bike in it; ugh. I WILL relocate when my kids are older; and will consider your low humidity suggestions!

Colorado has very low humidity - one of my cousins grew up in Colorado and moved from there to Arizona. She thought Arizona felt terribly humid

The first time I went to Colorado (as an adult), I went to visit my company's office in Denver. Everybody was constantly applying chapstick (like they were OCD about it), and there was hand lotion everywhere - on everybody's desk, next to every sink, in the conference rooms, in the lobby...

After a day and a half when my lips were so chaped that they were cracking and my skin felt like sandpaper, I understood why. And I became OCD about chapstick and lotion too.

I also looked older - but after getting my skin back in shape and making sure I was properly hydrated, I was back to normal. Now when I go to Colorado, I make sure to drink a ton-o-water and load up on the chapstick and lotion from the get-go.

This is an eight-year-old post, y'all.

Arizona is humid during monsoon season, but it's only a month or so long, the worst of it, and it gives everyone something to complain about. Dry heat is better than heat and humidity any day.

Elendil, is it any more or less humid in Arizona or Colorado in 2011 than it was in 2003?

Oh good grief. People who resurect old posts for no apparent reason should be shot.

I believe someone topped this with an ad, that was removed.

@sf7307 - I can't attest to all of CO, but Southwest CO is pretty much the same as it has been. NM and AZ are in the same situation with the drought continuing; I don't find it more humid, we are getting a bit of rain now, but not nearly enough. The biggest thing here is that as soon as it stops raining, there is no residual humidity. The air is crisp, clean and dry and smells wonderful.

In the Sierra Nevadas humidity is so low it's a problem! My nails start cracking about three days into a stay at our cabin there. I had to get super strong hand lotion just to get through! My hair looks wonderful though, I can blow dry it so straight! Too bad when I'm up there there's absolutely nobody to impress.
