I don't think we have much of a diurnal dewpoint variation, so 62.5°F is the average peak afternoon dewpoint.

For Brisbane, 75th percentile was 71°F, 25th 64°F, so higher than Philly in the sense that Brisbane is less prone to lower dew points but the higher range is roughly the same.

If you click on the dashboard link on that site you have even more options. Gives historical weather pretty far back for loads of places.

Brisbane's average 3 PM Feb dewpoint is 19 C / 67 F: Climate statistics for Australian locations

Further South in Sydney it's only 17 C / 62 F: Climate statistics for Australian locations

Interesting site. Christchurch's 25th percentile Feb DP is a mere 9 C / 48 F.

Cool site. Has got me plugging in heaps of different cities to check the dewpoint! A low dewpoint is important to me as I enjoy the feeling of not being saturated with sweat!

Check out their site for Death Valley (technically not in Death Valley but in Nevada). Some really low dewpoints even in summer.

BOM have the averages for Dalby here:Climate statistics for Australian locations
And also here for the airport (more recent but only 20 years of record):Climate statistics for Australian locations
I am quite shocked to see averages near 17C in January and February, the last few summers surely could not have had average dew points that high.

Then don't go to Red Sea or Persian (Arabian) Gulf. Dewpoints there can get above 90F.

A typical day would see a high of 28°C with 65% RH.

23c that's it here it can get to 28c

In Singapore I'd say (from experience, not accurate data) that DP's are most frequently in the 23-26°C range, day/night, though I've seen values as high as 28°C. I don't recall seeing lower than 22°C though as there are a few days a year with lows of 20-21°C, even with 100% humidity DP's would have to be not higher than that.
