Correct: Maryland always experiences hot, humid weather in the summer.
Correct: Dolphins are gentle, intelligent creatures.
Why:
- Use a comma between coordinate adjectives that equally modify the noun and can be joined with "and" or have their order reversed (hot and humid; gentle and intelligent).
- Do not use a comma when an adjective (like a quantifier) modifies an adjective–noun unit rather than the noun directly: "The chef demonstrated multiple easy, quick meals" (or better: "The chef demonstrated multiple quick, easy meals"), and "The Jayhawks are a tough hockey team" (no comma).
