    Humid is not universally defined as "hot and damp". Cambridge gives it as meaning merely "containing extremely small drops of water in the air". Humid does not necessarily imply warmth; muggy does.

    muggy is an informal term that refers to the discomfort of humidity. Synonyms would be stifling, airless, oppressive, sticky, clammy.



    humid is, or at least can be, a neutral term that refers to moisture in the air.



    For example, the air in the Pacific Northwest is quite humid, but people who live there do not feel it to be muggy.
