Yeah, that's what I used to think too. I also used to live in Michigan.

But still... 115@10% is just as insane as 95@80%... you can't go outside without becoming uncomfortable. At least in CO we see maybe 5 days over 100 (with <10% humidity), and it cools down to like 65 at night, so the summer isn't uncomfortable. And we have winters too (although I guess that is a minus for many folks, but I think seasons are awesome).
