Did you see the current condition?
Low 90's with 51% humidity. That's too humid for you Jammie?

However I do agree it would be not very desirable to have dewpoints like 76 F and air temps like high 70's or low 80's F.
That kind of weather I sometimes feel "cool and sticky."
The humidity makes some parts sweat but every time a breeze blows there's a dramatic drop in core temp, making huge goosebumps.

ILNC: Are you familiar with feeling "cool and sticky," or are you simply to warm natured to get that?

The 51% humidity level is ok if the dewpoint was down there further. I like warmth and some humidity, but whenever that dewpoint gets above 70, it's not that comfy. ILNC's actual temp of 92 is tolerable, but the heat index is 100 and that's a bit toasty.
