We've only been above 76 F / 24 C once this year near Nashville, TN, when we hit 77 F / 25 C on June 30. Yipes.

76 F / 24 C is usually around the maximum dew point temperature we'd see in a given year, and it would never happen as late as October.

I stay above 76 half the year. It's a super nasty 81f now.

An ordinary day ( re the max temps and DP's ) at Pirlangimpi on the Tiwi Islands north of Darwin, Northern Territory, AU.

How about this for dewpoints. Bone dry and frigid down south

Another below freezing dry morning down south. Current Dewpoints (F°)

Too dry as it dries my skin out when it is below 45f. 52f is perfect.

Must be the corn today in Connecticut.

I was mowing the lawn and kept saying why is it so uncomfortable??!!!

Sure enough... SMACK MY HEAD!

Microsoft's weather app is giving some glitchy-seeming dew point measurements/simulations for parts of the tropics outside of Asia... 27-30 C readings off the coast off of Vietnam, in Thailand's Chao Phraya basin, and around the northwestern Bay of Bengal are all plausible given how hot pre-monsoon sea temps off the coasts of tropical Asia get. West Africa and Texas are a different story though...
