The heat here really is dry in comparison to other places. 20% humidity here is nothing.

I didn’t buy into that, either, until a couple of years ago when I went to New Hampshire in June and experienced that special kind of hell with temperatures in the 90s with humidity percentages to match.

That convinced me to refrain from punching out the next person who uttered those famous (sometimes last) words, “it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.”
