The additional 10-15 degrees make a big difference, believe me. I grew up in the northeast and thought I could handle humidity.
82 and humid is tolerable...97 not so much.
You are correct, however, that Houston is more humid.

Try 115 degrees and 12%. Sorry...the difference is huge. The human body simply can't cool itself effectively when dew points are in the mid-60s and higher.
