The data suggest that Mississippi slightly beats out Louisiana followed by Florida:

I did an internship with Pioneer Seed in Greenville, Ms. when I graduated college. July in the heart of the Delta is definitely pretty high on the list.

Hawaii can be sucky if the trade winds aren't blowing. Especially if you're on the leeward side.

Once the heat, humidity, and dew point all reach the right combination, it doesn't matter how much "worse" it gets. It's fricking awful.
To put humid states in perspective, I spoke to a lady from Phoenix yesterday that is visiting Birmingham. She said that she was having trouble adjusting to the humidity and didn't know how we survived a whole summer down here. I pointed out that the temp in Phoenix has been 115+ the last few days and will continue to be so for the next week. She said the heat out there is fine if you wear protective clothing and stay out of the direct sun in the middle of the day but just being outside for a few minutes in Alabama made her feel disgustingly hot.

South Ga in the summertime is down right miserable because there is no breeze or wind to speak of. I think anywhere in the south below I-20 in the summer is hell

It is all about what you are used to. I went to Vegas the first time last year and it was 115 or so, and that was miserable. Yeah there may not be humidity but it feels like you are going to suffocate.

Louisiana for sure. July thru early Sept are the worst.
Not a state but San Antonio gets very humid.

The humidity has been rough in Huntsville recently. The low fog from the mountains doesn't help either.

I certainly can't imagine 115. But it got up to 90 when I was in Phoenix a few months ago. The sun was hot but the air certainly wasn't.
It was around 90 in BHam yesterday and I felt angry.

Yeah the whole "it's a dry heat" goes out the window at about 95 degrees.
The most miserable I've ever been was an Arizona St football game in September.

Working at any papermill in Louisiana between May and October is hell. Spent two weeks working at the one in Deridder in September and that might have been the most miserable I have been on a job sight.

Believe it or not DC is pretty damn humid. Caught me by surprise.

Mississippi. I spent 3 years in South Florida. It wasn't anywhere near as humid as MS. All the sand, wind from the ocean, etc actually make it pretty comfortable. All the clay soils in Miss just make the water stand and nothing gets absorbed from the air. You can't cool down unless you turn on a fan or get in an area controlled by the A/C. I am sure there are some areas in Louisiana like this as well.
I remember building a parking garage about 15 years ago in North MS with a construction crew from New Orleans. By 2pm they had to knock off. These were some extreme conditions but they couldn't believe how hot and humid it was here compared to what they were used to back home. Said they would never bid on another summer job here.

NYC got miserably humid last July when I was there. 75 degrees at 10pm and absolutely wet. Felt like I was in New Orleans.
But it's rare I think for the northeast to hit miserable levels. You pretty much are miserable in the South from May 15 until October if you don't like humid conditions.
