Weatherspark is not a very reliable source. Here’s from Wikipedia: Shanghai average max/mean/min temps in July: 32.8C/28.8C/25.8C Shanghai total precipitation/rainy days/average humidity/sunshine hours in July: 5.83in/11.7/78%/209.4 Quibdo average max/mean/min temps in July: 31.1C/26.6C/22.8C Quibdo total precipitation/rainy days/average humidity/sunshine hours in July: 31.6in/26/87%/135.1 While Quibdo is about 2 degrees cooler than Shanghai in mid summer, it gets 5 times as much precipitation, over twice a the amount of rainy days and a much higher relative humidity and much less sunshine. Keep in mind July is also the sunniest month in Quibdo and that almost half of the months have less than 100 sunshine hours. Quibdo is a never ending depressing nightmare of storms and cloudiness caused by the constant rising air. Even Death Valley has a better climate than Quibdo to be honest. |

Quibdo is a never ending depressing nightmare of storms and cloudiness caused by the constant rising air. Even Death Valley has a better climate than Quibdo to be honest. Even by those numbers, the average July dew point in Shanghai is still a bit higher than the average July dew point in Quibdo. This makes sense given that summers in subtropical (latitude) climates are generally hotter than in equatorial climates. I'm coming strictly from a wet bulb temperature perspective, not from a rainfall + sunshine perspective. |

Subtropics routinely have much higher wet bulb temps, that's well established. Quibdo really does look quite pleasant. Shanghai looks way too dry in summer for its temps.

Humid heat is horrific. Give me a dry 100f over a humid 80f!

A bit of both is good. I voted humid though, partly to balance out the votes, and because I want summer to have decent rain and storms which means it has to be at least a little humid.

I like humid tropical heat, but extreme mugginess like the one we get here in the Persian Gulf coast is horrible. Also, it comes without a single cloud in the sky.
