How do the summers in North Dakota compare to East Tennessee?

I would disagree on the "humid" part. ND is crazy dry compared to most states.

East TN doesn't get "crazy heat and humidity" compared to most of the rest of the South.

Average July highs where I am at 1800' are 85F. Yes, you do get muggy days, but it's not New Orleans, Florida, or even the coastal beaches in the Carolinas. Extended spells of 90+ are uncommon.

East TN also has abundant water and far less risk of tornadoes. You don't have to worry about drought in the least bit here.

Having lived in both East Tennessee and North Dakota. I would say that the summers are nice both places. North Dakota summers are colder than East Tennessee and not as humid.

Compared to TN it is pretty minimal and Bismarck is far enough west that humidity is rarely that high (Fargo and Grand Forks can be higher, but still rarely is it awful; maybe couple days a year).

Red River Valley can get somewhat humid (but even there, most of the time, summer is nice). Bismarck west tends to have more heat waves but is considerably drier humidity-wise especially Dickinson west for the last 50 miles or so. Still, even Bismarck and western ND will have plenty of nice days (I think average high around 85, but you will get some that are 95-100; this is pretty infrequent in eastern ND but humidity is higher). I prefer western ND climate personally.
