35C (95F), dewpoint 13C (55F)....dry or humid? (hot, humidity, dew point)

That's the weather right now here.

Would you consider it muggy and uncomfortable? It does feel that way though, or maybe it's the actual heat?

The relative humidity is 26% btw.

dry-ish. The discomfort is from the heat.

I don't know if I've ever felt heat that dry.

It's pretty dry and it feels hot because of the heat itself. I don't know how humid heat feels though, as it's never much more humid than that in Zagreb with such heat.

Dry. I've felt heat like that in Kuwait.

[The East Frisian]

That is usually the kind of air mass we get in heat waves above 30°C+, its quite dry.

[dunno what to put here]

Dry. When we get above 30C, we usually get dew points like that, although last summer we had 31C with a dew point of 20C.

Interesting. We get that here occasionally, though maybe not every year.

Just wondering, what's the humidity and dewpoint in Miami when it hits 93-95F?

When we reach 35C+ (95F), the relative humidity is always around 20%-35%. When it's around 30C (86F), the humidity overs around late 30s to 40s. The coast's humidity is a bit higher though (but that's because it's cooler there).

Sydney isn't as humid as people make it out to be (at least compared Brisbane, Hong Kong and your East Coast/Gulf). Somehow, it 'feels' humid because of the simultaneous clouds and heat, but oddly the humidity/dewpoint is always low.
