^^ Last July was unusually humid, but there looked to be plenty of dew point below 60 in August and June.

So, what cities get a fair share of both type of heats?

I'm guessing Dallas is one. Any others (international cities too of course)?
I have heard Dallas gets a little more humidity while Fort Worth over 30 miles east is a little drier.

More like 3 DAYS of high humidity and usually on labor day weekend. The rest of the summer and fall are pretty bone dry.

Indianapolis can experience both a humid heat and a dry heat, with the dry heat often occurring with temperatures much above about 96 Degrees Fahrenheit, although this isn't always the case.

I think you meant Fort Worth, being 30 miles to the "West" is a little drier.
