Hot & humid, most likely. So think jungle.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. It is measured in three ways: absolute humidity, relative humidity, and specific humidity. Relative humidity is the most frequently encountered measurement of humidity because it is regularly used in weather forecasts. It is an important part of weather forecasts because it indicates the likelihood of precipitation, dew, or fog. Higher relative humidity also makes it feel hotter outside in the summer because it reduces the effectiveness of sweating to cool the body by preventing the evaporation of perspiration from the skin. This effect is calculated in a heat index table. Warmer air has more thermal energy than cooler air; thus more water molecules can evaporate and stay in the air in a vapour state rather than a liquid state. This may be why people say that warmer air "holds" more moisture — in warmer air, there is more energy for more water molecules to hold themselves in the air (and overcome hydrogen bonds which seek to pull water molecules together).

Humid is usually associated with hot but it can be either. It refers to the amount of water in the air.

With high humidity you will "feel" warmer than the being in the another place with the same temperature but low humidity.

It can be both.If the relative humidity is 100 percent, it means the air has reached the dewpoint temperature.The dewpoint temperature can be sometimes more than 30 degree celcius or less than zero degree celcius.

It is a trick question it can be either. Humidity isn't really correleated with heat...

could be either - it means the air is saturated with water - usually raining or snowing when this happens
