The most humid places in Australia are on the northwest coast (i.e. Broome, Port Hedland). Ironically, they are in a semi-desert and yet they would see dewpoints as high as 30C in some instances. Even the wetter, humid areas on the east coast and on the same latitude (such as Cairns, Townsville) don't see such extreme dewpoints.
20C dewpoints are not rare in Sydney.
The high humidity along the NW coast is a function of the high sea temps which are in excess of 30C. Don't forget the coastal plains around the Gulf of Carpentaria, that is another contender for the most humid region in Australia.

Maybe this January we had a couple of 20C dewpoints (still relatively low compared to Brisbane), but all in all they're still a rare occurrence. Even dewpoints of 13C would be a much more common in here.
Exceptionally humid day across northern and central Argentina.
I must say I don't remember seeing so many places in the country with dew points of 25ºC and above, especially penetrating in drier areas of the west and not so hot places in the Centre.
I can't stand this summer anymore. Not extreme in terms of temperatures, but perpetually hot. It was supposed to be a cooler than average summer due to El Niño, but out of nowhere it's in course of becoming a top-5 warmest at least...
Dew points at 3pm local time.
Highest dew point is 28ºC in Ituzaingó (in the northeast). That -10ºC figure is La Quiaca, in the Andean Plateau, usually a parallel dimension.
Hitting low 30s today, before 38C tomorrow in the Lower Hunter.
Might see if I can get down to Nobbys later!
Heading to a winery for Valentines day lunch.
Ummmmm...tomorrow it's snowing on Mt Wellington. How??? I mean it did a few years back on Christmas Day but in mid February!!! WOW, kinda of surprised.

Temperatures don't look that cold over the next few days -Tuesday the coldest at 11/16C. Can't really see it snowing up top at those temperatures.
