Adverb

No strict dividing line can be drawn between predicative uses of the adjective close (e.g. the weather remained sultry and close) and adverbial ones, e.g. to stand, sit, lie, etc., close (i.e. in immediate contact or proximity); with verbs of motion, as come, bring, etc., close ; or with prepositions by, to, beside, etc. ( close by the wall ; he came close to solving the problem; she sat close beside him).

Weather

Close is certainly sometimes used as an alternative to muggy or humid in England, I can well believe it is in Scotland and Ireland too but is it really not used in Wales? I imagine the word should be tagged as ‘Britain/Ireland’ rather than ‘England, Scotland, Ireland’. Perhaps I’m wrong and Welsh people don’t say it though?
