20C/68F is considered humid as the chart below indicates, but nothing outrageous...

Dew Points are headed for the mid to upper 70's (that's 24-26C) for the next three days.... Temps are 86F/30C. Muggy

The 17 degree dewpoint is less common but warm spells are often very humid in this country surrounded by water. So it's not all that surprising at all. Dewpoints lower down in Cheshire (10 miles away) have been around 18-20 so 17 here is right - even Northern Ireland has had 20 degree dewpoints today in fact.

My weather station is a Davis Vantage Pro 2 so dewpoint readings are very accurate and also compare well with the official Leek Thorncliffe station 10 miles away at 298m.

Did it get hot enough where you are at to produce a heat index?
