Living in the South you tend to get used to high temps and even higher humidity. My favorite days are when I get to work, 6:30 am, and the papers on my desk are practically dripping water from the humidity.
Our mid-Atlantic summer has been pretty decent. While we've had our "hot and humid with a chance of afternoon thunderstorm" forecast drone on daily, not many really oppresive days have occured.
A week of multiple days in the 100+ degree range with high humidity will suck the life out of ya...
