And people still think it's weird that NYC and Boston are classified as humid subtropical.
Honestly, any place where it's even possible to have 60+ dew points in the middle of Autumn deserves such a classification.
Even Wisconsin?

Exactly. I've seen dew points near or at 60 in October recently, and 50+ dew points in December (13, 2015), but the average temperature here is only 18, making it nowhere near subtropical. Average annual here is just 46.
2015 October was slightly below average in BGM, but mostly because there were a couple of days where the temperature tanked. Overall it was still a really comfortable month
I remember that. There were freeze warnings down to Philly and Tennessee mid October
Here were the temps morning of October 19th. (Not Lows)
20s in North Carolina and Virginia. Widespread 20s & 30s across the Northeast. Even teens in New England. Even freezing at the coasts north of Delaware.
A pattern that we aren't getting this month...so far.

I get the point that you're trying to make, but 100F temps are far from being a disqualifying factor for Med climates; many away from the coast routinely reach those temps during their hot dry summers, and records easily clear 110F.
