Pretty much the highest dewpoints in Denver are about 63°F/17°C every year. So far this year, it's been 59 °F / 15 °C. Our lows were in the mid 50s until now with some low to mid 60s. Not bad, but I'm waiting for fall.

72 F/22 C dewpoint here. I see a couple lows down to 63 F/17 C so maybe there'll be a very slight temporary reprieve from the humidity this week?

Going over the latest Euro12z data, unfortunetly any dew point break we get might be temporary. Driest timeframe here is Friday. Boy those 50s into northern CT look so good right now.

Really? Wunderground hasn't shown anything over 75F for NYC. What it has shown is an average high of 30C and low of 24C so far this month. I think the average 24hr dew point is 70F too!
The North East is sounding pretty horrendous!

Yes it is. I havent seen a high reading of upper 70s yet but low to mid 70s dewpoint has been the norm constantly.

At 8pm, locations are still feeling like 90s!

I don't think the personal weather stations are reliable for dew point. Dew point is more likely to be error prone, I'm guessing, then say, temperature.

Even some professional weather stations sometimes post dodgy dew points.

That's really impressive. A whole month with no dewpoint below 65°F! Even though I enjoy humidity, this would be too much.



Right now here (11 am) dewpoint of 61°F, air temp of 77°F.

Definetly not. Calibration is so key with backyard (or any) station. So many little details we dont think about like too close to roof and you get extra heat that drys the surrounding of the station which lowers the humidity and therefore so will the dew point number. After trial and error of a few days or weeks you have to calibrate/adjust the numbers to reality (or move the station). Problem is, 85% of WeatherUnderground stations dont. Thats why I hate using them as a source.


74.2° Dewpoint here.

I hope you folks see how tropical its been here lately. It's sick. Its sad. and maybe not something you think for Latitude 41°N

24 degrees with 17 degree (C) dewpoint here and it feels nice and pleasant, certainly nothing stuffy about it at all it's what summer should be like at the minimum.
