how do you deal with this high humidity in the south?

My friend (born, raised, and living in her dream home in Florida) said their summers are like the winters for northerners, in that they spend the temperature extremes indoors. Over the summer, when she and her DH walk outside, they start their walk by 5:00 a.m. and finish by 7:00 a.m.

She totally cannot tolerate cold weather.

And from 7am onwards?

95F and 100% relative humidity are not conditions that typically exist. That would equate to a dew point of 95F. At 95F, the highest relative humidity you are ever likely to see is about 60%. Relative humidity is an exponential function of temperature. A better metric to look at is dew point, a measure of the actual amount of moisture in the air. Dew points in the high 70s is pretty nasty. The highest you are ever likely to experience in the US is in the low 80s. There are some extreme locations around the world where higher values are possible.

I recently read an article about at what temperature/humidity can a human not survive. Their answer was at 95 degrees with 100% humidity a human will die in 6 or 7 hours, no running required. In 100% humidity the body still sweats, but there is no evaporative cooling. The 95 degree air is hot enough that it isn't contributing to body cooling either. As time passes, internal temps rise and eventually organs begin to succumb to it and shut down.
The point of the above should be to keep in mind that really high humidity with high temperatures impairs your body's ability to cool itself.
