One of the perks of living on the Atlantic coast, is the humidity () - and the further south you go - the worse it is. I grew up in New England on the coast, and the humidity wasn't nearly as bad as it is here in the mid-Atlantic region, and south of here is even worse. Most people that don't live near the coast are under the impression that it is cooler and more comfortable, since we get the cooler ocean breeze. Sometimes yes - but most of the time - no. We get the heat and humidity pumped up to us from the south by way of the jet stream. It's just soupy, sticky, hot!!!!
