No kidding. I grew up near the water in the East but moved to the mountains of New Mexico. Now when I visit, if it’s in summer I feel like I’m breathing spit through a straw.
Poor lady. My sons and I have been working camp staff for the last couple of weeks in North Carolina, and it’s been very hot and humid. The humidity is what gets you: no evaporation cooling, and your core temperature can get too high.

You gotta acclimate, drink lots of water days before, stay hydrated and keep your electrolytes healthy.
