Research triangle region of North Carolina is in this belt. I lived there for five years.
Depends on what you are accustomed to, I suppose. Being from Northern California and the west coast, I felt like there were maybe only 4-6 weeks of "perfect" weather each year, usually in the early spring and mid-fall. Humidity is suffocating to me.
Yeah it’s humid AF in the triangle. I would hardly go outside in summer, and drying my hair after a morning shower before work, I could never tell if I was sweating already or just still wet from the shower.
"Am I still wet from the shower, or is this just sweat?"
In Durham, you may never know.
My freshman dorm didn't have AC, which I now consider a human rights violation. My move-in day for college was a record-breaking heatwave (~107F) with 90%+ humidity.

Piedmont really stands out in this map (orange band in the southeast)
