Since I was born in and my wife and kids have been in the Philippines most of our lives, hot and humid is actually totally fine. We deal with 90+ heat with 90%+ humidity 8 months out of the year in the Philippines.
It's the winters in the north that I'm more concerned about and want to avoid for them. Hence, We'll only stay in Idaho April thru Jun then travel the rest of the months according to the plan. You can see a draft me my first tour here:
At least the Philippines are tropical. Iowa? When the dew point is 76 degrees and it smells like cow dung, you might remember this post Just pointing out that there are more um...comfortable...and perhaps, scenic areas along your routes. The Upper Midwest isn't horrible in the summer, and can be quite beautiful. Lots of lakes and forests. The Boundary Waters is a place I hope to return to someday, even though I did not enjoy living in the midwest. It has its good parts.
