"...the temperture rises, along with the humidity."

Helen is correct. When we are uncomfortable, it's almost always due to high humidity caused by the absence of the tradewinds. The TV weatherguessers then give two temperatures: actual and perceived (the latter is not disseminated outside the state for fear tourism might be affected). Our other weather-based discomfort (besides hurricanes) is the periodic appearance of "vog", which appears when winds from the direction of the Big Island of Hawaii(Kona winds) blow the volcanic gases our way and give us smog-like conditions.
