I hear that. I lived Morgan City, LA for 7 years before coming over here. I also did my military basic training a Ft. Polk, La in July & August. Humidity at 98-100% most of the time and the temps right up there as well.

They didn't call AIT (Advanced Infantry Training) 'Tigerland' for nothing. It was as close as you could come to the jungles of VN on the US mainland.
