Only Brownsville (and now Dallas) is capable of that much humidity.
This set or tied an all-time record, though. Dew points that high are not normal in DFW.

It was pretty gross outside but it wasn't thaaaaat bad.

If that's the worst of the humidity, I'll be alright.

Besides, running the AC is a lot cheaper than where I came from so IDGAF.

Default 116 degree heat index with 80 degree dewpoint

Dallas hit an 80 degree dewpoint today with a heat index of 116 degrees and it is still rising. It could hit 120 degree index today. I feel sorry for the thousands of homeless people who live in Dallas.

Where are you getting these numbers? I don't know what the dew point is, certainly could be close to 80, but the heat index right now is 110 according to Mr. iPhone.

I use AccuWeather > https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/da...weather/351194

It did not reach 120 today the highest it got was 116 degrees with 80 degree dewpoint. It's all the same though. That is still unbearable heat and humidity.

Amazingly enough, Dallas is NOT in the desert!

Very difficult for Yankees to comprehend that North Central Texas is NOT Arizona. No saguaro cacti here, either, unless someone's poached them and planted them. Too many Westerns filmed out west that were supposedly set in Tex.

This is why it's important for anyone seriously considering moving here to at least experience the summer, then decide. I've been in the metroplex for 25 years and the heat still feels brutal. People ask me "you should be used to it by now" Nope. Still sucks. Yet the locals I know LOVE it. One guy plays golf so it's great for him. One lady says she loves to lay BY the pool when it's 500 degrees outside. Definitely something in the makeup of people born and raised here because I'm by the AC.

The humidity this month has been crazy. Definitely not something we typically encounter this time of year.

I went to college in Houston and thought I would get adjusted to the humidity during the summer. It took me years to get adjusted to it and I never want to experience that again. You never adjust to the humidity but you accept being miserable 3 months out of the year.
