Default Low humidity resorts?

We like heat but hate humidity.
Obviously, one can get weather data per resort fairly easily, including
humidity.
But is there a specific website listing low humidity resorts anywhere?

Desert or close-to-desert resorts with relatively cold water if coastal
resort needed should meet your wishes.

What are your planned activities?

There should be rainfall-per-year maps.

Doubt there are places like Las Vegas and Palm Springs in Europe
(current weather notwithstanding).

Europe they're hot&dry.

Well, some places in the Med have been amongst the most humid we've
experienced!

Yep, you're right. We know most N. African & M/E desert areas well.
Just looking for an easier crib elsewhere!

I'm following this thread with interest, as I'm particularly
vulnerable to high humidity (being diabetic).

Whilst there are never any guarantees, I generally find Alpine areas
to be fresh and healthy - and even if it gets unpleasant "on the
plains" as it were, there's always the cool of the mountains to escape
to.

Germany certainly designates some places as "Luftkurorte" where the
air quality is regarded as good - might be worth doing a search and
seeing what comes up.

Where, out of interest? The Greek Islands that I've visited have all
felt quite dry- not at all oppressive. Likewise, the costa del sol is
fairly dry. Italy, likewise.

Worst was probably southern Turkey, plus Cyprus and Malta.

Had an awful August in the Valencia/Alicante region - 40° C and
extremely high humidity. Moved to Andalucia, and although just as hot
the lack of humidity made things much more pleasant.

Venice can be horrendous in mid summer, all that water
keeps the humidity sky high

Any resort in or near Tucson, Arizona.
