I grew up in Texas and now live in Oregon where we get something like two weeks of nights where it's 80+ out late at night. I agree with you; the humidity makes things gross but what makes them unbearable is the duration of the heat.

On the flipside, having been in El Centro, CA and the Persian Gulf region while in the Navy, I could smack anyone who says "but it's a dry heat." When it's 110 degrees, it doesn't matter.

Here in Texas, it's been 80 degrees by about 8 or 9am for most of the summer. Sometimes earlier or for days. Apparently it currently feels like 110 degrees (air temperature is 101).
