What dew point is uncomfortable?
A dew point between 55°F and 60°F is noticeably humid. It's muggy when the dew point is above 60°F, and it's uncomfortable outside when it ticks above 65°F. Any dew point readings above 70°F are oppressive and even dangerous, the kind of stickiness you experience in the tropics or during a brutal summer heat wave.

The dew point temperature and the actual(standing) temperature are two different measurements. The measurements are taken at the same time. The heat index or "feels like" temp is a measurement of the dew point and the actual temp combined, along with relative humidity, to give us a Heat Index/Comfort Scale.

July 15, 6:33AM, Rise and Shine Start of the Day

Sacramento is Cooler than Portland, and Sacramento is 30 degrees Cooler Phoenix right now.


Phoenix
Standing temp or Actual: 86F
Dew point: 66F - Uncomfortable
Heat index or "Feels Like" temp: 88F

Portland
Standing temp or Actual: 57F
Dew point: 49F - Pleasant
Heat index or "Feels Like" temp: 56F

Sacramento
Standing temp: 56F
Dew point: 51F - Pleasant
Heat index or "Feels Like" temp: 54F

Dew Point Comfort Scale
Pleasant: less than 55F
Comfortable: 56-60F
Getting Sticky- 61-65F
Uncomfortable: 66-70F
Oppresive: 71-75F
Miserable:76F and higher

In the dead of Summer, no one tells you that Sacramento almost everyday has temps in the 50's despite how high or not the temperature tops out later than day. Does it matter, yes, it matters a lot for all sorts of reasons.

Going on another wonderful weather day in Sacramento. Dew Point -52F Pleasant, never feels "humid" in Sacramento.

Yesterday, the outdoor workout took 1hr 1/2. It was Very Cool, between 56F-59F degrees in Sacramento during the outdoor workout, finished around 8:30am.

Have NOT used the A/C in almost a whole week and almost never needed the A/C overnight this whole summer but for a few.

Morning walk today, July 17, 2021, 7:00AM
Portland 60F
Sacramento 62F
Sierra Foothills/Aubrun 66F
Fresno 66F
Denver 67F

Las Vegas 87F

Sacramento is Cooler than both the Sierra foothills, and mile-high Denver.

Sacramento is 25 degrees Cooler than Las Vegas, right now.
