muggily
In oppressive humidity
Muggily describes doing something in a muggy manner—with oppressive heat and humidity.
The word is rare, since weather conditions don't often modify actions: The air hung muggily over the city.
More commonly, writers choose constructions like "in the muggy heat" instead.
