mugginess starts when dew points pass 70f(21c). dew points of 60-65 is comfy and 65-70 is slightly humid.
everyone's opinion is different. Anything above 60°F I found noticeably sticky, though 60-65°F isn't that bad. I'd say 55-60°F is slightly humid. Yesterday morning had dew points in the 40s, evening mid 50s. Very different feel when I was bicycling.

I think it has to do with low dew points being rare here so I'm quite comfortable with high humidity. even during the dry season dew points are usually above 50f.

Yeah. I'm used to high humidity as well as our idea of dry season is a dew point of 70F. At other times it's about 75.
I think the difference between muggy and "comfortable" are being used wrong.
Being comfortable in the 60s or in the 20s is everyones personal preference.
Being muggy is a measure of water in the air. Dampness. 60s is damp. That doesn't change if your in Miami or Toronto. The keys or Maine.
Another way to see this is to look at the PWAT values.. Dewpoints are measure at the surface. PWAT measures the water content in the atmosphere. Great for seeing where very heavy rainfall can occur.
Right now the Atmosphere is Loaded with moisture ahead of the front. Dry behind it. That water in the atmosphere is making it damp/muggy/humid ahead of the front.

Damp is relative, too. Someone from Miami or a tropical country might not know 60s is damp, they're not used to anything drier. 60s is still a lot less water than 70s (note the nearly factor of 2 difference in your map)
