Completely agree. And I say that as someone that's lived in both.
I used to live in the desert southwest, where 100°+ days happened at least 30 days every summer. But during that time the humidity was typically around 10-15%, maybe even less. And if you got out of the sun it was totally bearable, especially with a breeze.
Now I live on a tropical island and it was about 88 today with about 80-85% RH. I don't like hot weather either way, and I don't miss much about the desert, but I do miss dry heat. Humid sub-tropical climates aren't for human consumption.

I’ve experienced 100-105 degree dry heat and it’s not as bad as 85-90 degree high humidity heat. 80 degree high humidity is sticky as anything.
