Answer 1

Califorina and Nevada; Death Valley to be exact.

It shares the high temperature of most places on earth that are below sea level, and the Rocky Mountians block most of the rain fall that could get to it. With the hottest temperatures in the US and the lowest rainfall totals it has to be the least humid place in the US. The nearest lake to death valley is dry as a bone (the dry salt lakes) so with almost no water an the highest temperatures it has to have the lowest humidity.

Death Valley, all of Nevada, and most of California are in the brown and get the least rainfall in August.

There is an annual flood in Death Valley, but that s a once a year event, if it even comes.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_valley
"Death Valley is a valley in the U.S. states of California and Nevada, and is the location of the lowest elevation in North America at 282 ft (86 m) below sea level."

"The valley radiates extreme amounts of heat, creating temperatures that are among the hottest on earth. The hottest temperature ever recorded in the United States was 134 °F (56.7 °C) at Furnace Creek on July 10, 1913. The highest average high temperature in July is 117 °F (47 °C) with temperatures of 122 °F (50 °C) or higher being very common. The valley receives less than 2 in (50 mm) of rain annually. The Amargosa River and Furnace Creek flow through the valley, disappearing into the sands of the valley floor.

While Death Valley gets very little rain, it is prone to flooding during heavy rains because the soil is unable to absorb the bulk of the water. The runoff can produce dangerous flash floods. In August 2004, such flooding caused two deaths and shut down the national park."

For the most humid places on Earth and in the US:
According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity
"The most humid cities on earth are generally located closer to the equator, near coastal regions. Historically, cities in South and Southeast Asia seem to be among the most "uncomfortable" in terms of humidity. Kolkata, India and Bangkok, Thailand [1] experience extreme humidity during their rainy seasons. Kuala Lumpur and Singapore have very high humidity all year round because of their proximity to water bodies and the Equator.

In the United States the most humid cities, strictly speaking, are Forks and Olympia, Washington [2]. This may come as a surprise to many, as the weather in those regions may not seem to exhibit the discomfort usually associated with high humidity. This is because the dew points are relatively low in the Northwest United States."

Answer 2

Low Humidity States

Answer 3

Most Humid Place On Earth

Answer 4

The following states have a low humidity climate. They are ALL IN DESERT REGIONS.

Arizona
Nevada
New Mexico
California

Answer 5

I live in Tucson AZ and we have about 10 months a year of basically humidity free weather. But, during the summer monsoon (which is right now) humidity hits about 60%. But that's sporadic for only 2 months, then back to extreme dry weather.

Answer 6

California

Answer 7

Most people agree that southern California has the best weather in terms of temperature fluctuations. They don't have any crazy storms and it's always nice outside. There are also plenty of smaller cities in that area. Drawbacks: it's expensive to live there and they do get more earthquakes than any other part of the US.

Answer 8

Somewhere in the rain shadow of the southern Rockies - ie, somewhere just to the east of the mountains, where the air passing over the Rockies will have dropped all or most of its moisture on the way. There's a reason it's mostly desert there, you know.
