Heat or humidity?

I live in Florida, and running lately has become increasingly difficult due to the hot weather. If I get up before sunrise the temperature is the lowest, but the humidity is at it's highest. For example, tomorrow at 5am the humidity is predicted to be over 95%, but the feel like temp is only 81. On the other hand, at 8pm when the sun goes down the feel like temp is around 93, but the humidity is only 65%.

My question is, which does everyone think is better? Morning humidity or evening heat?

    I'd try both and decide how it felt...
    heat makes you sweat more, but humidity doesn't let the sweat evaporate, so you actually aren't cooling off as well.
    Since i have no idea on the impact of those numbers though, i can't tell you which would be better until i'd actually get a chance to run in those conditions and compare .
