I like the dry harsh sun, that's the feeling of summer to me. I think the sun beats my head more if there's humidity / haze.
35F dewpoints are also extremely rare here in the summer, they're not even that common until we reach early winter to be honest, when the temp is in the 30-40s.
Dry harsh sun is something I typically associate with spring here. Spring is the season where droughts are most common, I honestly hate spring. It's the season with the least interesting weather. Too late for many cold fronts and too early for afternoon storms. Wildfires are most abundant in spring.
Yeah, 35 F dew points really only happen frequently in winter here and even then, it's not so frequent. Though, I think I recall a dew point in the 30s in early April this year. When we had a cold front, night dropped to 55 F.

well your spring is probably already summer for us.
Spring is the driest season here but I would say the sun is mild to warm usually, mostly days around 20c to 25c and cool / chilly nights. It is usually the season with the most interesting weather because we get to experience both the driest conditions and heavy rainfalls, and the humidity does not linger for too long. Also, clear air and lush vegetation.

Yeah, April here has the same mean temp as your July.
It seems my seasons here are one step ahead of yours. Your springs are our winters and your summers are our spring.
Even though your April is much cooler than my January. Ah, this climate is pathetic honestly.
Last time we didn't get a DP of over 65F by now was 2009. (that year keeps coming up)
Usually we get it in May or early June. More ironic is that tomorrow we will and the 1st time in 2009 was June 12th as well.
Summer 2009 wasn't bad with the dews until End of July then August was brutal with 70s with about 20 days worth.
Lexington looks similar to 2012 at this point.
Look at the difference between us the last 3 years! I'm amazed you didn't hit 70 at all last June. CT seems to get higher DPs in late summer, which I assume because of sea temperatures. Ours come with a flow from the Gulf.
June 23rd has been a muggy bowl of soup for you the last couple of years. DPs of 76 F and 75 F on that date respectively. Perhaps the trend continues this year?
I'm really surprised that you've only had three instances of 75+ DPs in the past 11 years in June though I suppose high dew points like that would be more common in July. And I imagine southwest KY gets higher DPs than Lexington.
We get stuff all +20°C dewpoints here, but I do recall one day in December where I was stuck in the city and dewpoints reached 24°C before the onset of some heavy thunderstorms. I had difficulty breathing, and this was unrelated to the massive thunderstorm asthma epidemic in November.

. Need to be comfortable and dry inside.
