Summers on average are long, hot, and humid with monthly average temperatures ranging from 81f to 100F yet intense brief thunderstorms are normal. Why is it so humid in subtropical environments, well it is very hot and the sun's radiation is very exposed, so the sun evaporates water into the air and increases the humidity to 40% - 90%. NOT very cold winters mostly around 45.5F - 60.8F
