Here in SoCal it is currently 106 degrees and 35% humidity. Timber and I don't like it.
In Mountain Home, it's 76 degrees, partly cloudy with 61% humidity.

The 80 isn't bad, the 53 gets old.

Southern CA should be fine place to live if it weren't for 20,000,000 others living there.

My daughter visited LA this summer for a wedding. She said she doesn't foresee going back. She wasn't impressed with a place where it takes 45-60 minutes to get anywhere. Being from a city where everything is within 30 minutes or less it was a shock. She also said at least Chicago has a decent subway system.

I start sweating at about 65-70 degrees, anything much above those
temps I find uncomfortable. Shoulda stayed in Alaska!

I don't have a humidity number but the sun has been down about an hour and a half it's 82 feels like 84 dew point 33 30.11 inhg . My cooler usually this time of year is changing 22-24° has been doing 10-15 all summer and we are still trying or setting records .
I left yesterday morning to go to work @ 5:45 AM it was 78 inside and 76 outside .

I promised myself I'd only hate the heat or the cold but not both . This year I may actually welcome the cold . I've worked with the idea that cold will creep in through every crack or wrinkle while you can escape the heat even if only for a little bit the cold is everywhere 24/7 ........... This summer may be my breaking point .

Just finishing up my 6th summer here and yeah no doubt, humidity this summer was horrid week after week. Far worse than the previous five summers. Looking forward to better next year.

106 huh, that's unpleasant. We had a a couple days near that, but the humidity made for feels like @117. The worst day I played outside on a pick up, it was not fun. Tons of water in, tons back out.

Been real pleasant here lately, no complaints.

I swear the humidity gets worse every year. Maybe I am just getting soft?
I have never ever liked the heat. Everyday that I don't need a light jacket is another day it is to hot.

I would have moved north, except I was warned about mosquitos as big as huming birds. Heck I killed one here the other day that had a tick on it!

The humming bird sized skeeters up north are just babies.

I dislike humidity. Give me reasonably dry weather between 50 and 60 all year and I am happy.

You sound like my wife.

Outdoor humidity over 50% is a buggar no matter the temperature. I like it HOT. I don't thaw out and stop having sore joints until 80F. Getting to where I don't like much over 98F anymore, though, but up to that point I'm good to go. The cold still hurts, but not as bad as it used to when my hypoglycemia was out of control and I weighed 140 lbs. Now I'm running 170 and it makes the freezing cold a lot more bearable and the triple-digit heat a little less so.

I am a bit more insulated than that. I don't care for real cold, like below 20° for much. Over 85-90 kinda sucks too.
A dry heat isn't near as bad as humidity.

The older I get the less I care for extremes in temperature. Or anything else for that matter.
