A lot of people's significant others went to work as English teachers, so there are some options.
I didn't realize it was quite that humid there. Is the worst of the heat and humidity mostly in a 2-3 month span?
I've heard of people getting work as English teachers there. That would be a good option. My wife is quite well educated (unlike her dumb pilot husband) so I'm sure she'd get on quite well doing something like that.
