I've always thought the sun feels more scorching with lower humidity.
There's a cool poll. Scorching Sun with No humidity or Dim sun with Oppressive air. Same air temp. I'll take dry and scorch. Can always find shade. Oppressive unbreathable bug infested air you can only hide in the A/C
62°F right now. Feels Muggier than other 62F days..

For what it's worth, I found low 90s and dewpoints in the high 60s (a few weeks ago) better than high 90s and dewpoints in the 50s (early July, Berlin). It was muggy but I didn't feel blasted with heat, and the high heat index times weren't as long lasting.

My preference remains the same. I would take 100°F with Dewpoints in the 30s. Hands down. I been to Vegas, it was great. So give me scorching sun and dry air.
Wait..... let me rephrase that... "if I had to pick".. not my preference. LOL
Hmmm, I voted but where is the option for 55-65f? I can handle up to about 75 but my preference is about 65 as my cutoff point .
Right now is 77f with a dew point of 59f, it's nice!
I don't know. I hate scorching hot, dry days because there's usually no chance of precipitation which means fewer breaks in the heat. I'd rather have 90 F with a 75 F dew point and a 70% chance of storms, than a bone dry 100 F with a 40F dew point.

I don't know, the DP rarely goes below 16c/60F here in the summer, most of this summer it has been moderately humid to very muggy (24c / 75F) but we barely had any rain though. It's almost never dry overall.
I grew up in a climate with lower RH but with more frequent rain / tstorms in the summer, so your equation does not work everywhere.
high RH + no rain ever = the worst. If it's humid it might as well rain. If it does not rain I prefer low RH.
