Do you consider a dewpoint of 16C (61F) to be humid? (hot, warm)

For me, this isn't dry nor humid. But it definitely feels more on the "dry side".

Dry. It means haze here, definitely. Antthing below 22C for a long time here = drought + wildfire haze. (for 32-33C sunny afternoon, 22C dew means 50% humidity or so)

Humid for me.

It must be related to a temperature, otherwise it's meaningless. Alone, it doesn't say anything about the humidness.
In summer this dewpoint matches 30°C and 43% humidity - uncomfortably dry.
In winter it can match 16°C with 100% humidity - extremely humid.

if the temperature is 18c, it is very humid and sticky, sure.

if it's summer and 32c, it's comfortable.

Yes, but would it feel muggy and uncomfortable? I doubt it, as the air is too cool.

I like to be under a blanket in that kind of condition.

That's about the average dew point here in July and August (15c), it feels a little humid with average temps of 23-24c, but not when it's hot.

If it was 16°C dewpoints with an 18°C then yes it is humid, because the air is near saturation point. The higher the temperature with the same dewpoint, the less humid it feels, at least to me anyway.

So 16/18 feels humid to me (but not warm) but 16/28 feels hot but not humid.

In the non-summer months, yes. In summer itself, slightly humid or "moderate humidity", but during the Dog Days, what we call "tolerable".

It also depends on the height above sea level and the barometric pressure.
