Default Low Humidity in The Caribbean

as a MS sufferer..the heat is an ass kicker also, but the heat/humidty
is near deadly to some of us. i have found in several trips to
jamaica..that the cooling breezes on the beach..esp around negril, i am
more comfortable than here in ohio in the summer. could just be beach
attitude helps.

suffers from multiple sclerosis and humidity really kicks her ass. I
am hoping to find a resort area in the Caribbean (or other area?) that
has relatively low humidity levels. I am guessing that humidity and
the Caribbean go hand in hand but it doesn't hurt to ask. Any and all
imput is appreciated.

Thanks

Actually the Caribbean temps run in the low 80s year round; very little
change because of the ocean.

But the dew-point (and thus the humidity) is roughly set by the ocean
temperature - at least if you are anywhere near the coast.

That's why the clouds on the mountains as the damp air from the sea is blown
upwards to cooler heights - where the temperature reaches the dew-point set
by sea temp.
