The downside is if you're doing physical activity (or even not), it feels like the water gets sucked out of you. Everything evaporating very quickly.
Your right. But I'd rather keep taking in water than put it out. I'm "sitting" outside right now in the shade dripping with sweat. That's just insane and not enjoyable.. It's the amazon here. So yeah, I think I prefer around 25-30 dewpoint. I would be comfortable 30-40.

I'd say a dew point of 45°F is high enough to prevent extreme dryness while still keeping humidity nearly unnoticeable. Extreme aridity felt annoying to me. Up to 55°F I don't really notice the humidity that much, and a bit above is tolerable and then slowly gets too much.
For some reason I don't notice very low relative humidity. I find dehydration much more of a problem in humid heat because of the abundant sweating it triggers. I voted 60°F+ since I enjoy humidity, but I don't really have a preferred range.

Does very low relative humidity (at very warm temperatures like 80°F) even occur in Paris? It happens at most a few times a year, and might be hard to notice if sitting still. I've only noticed it out west.

Back to this, I think this is a personal opinion rather than an actual one. Dews in the 20s is not dry where you're choking or needing water every minute. In fact its the opposite, when Dews are in the 60s/70s you feel suffication and get dehdrated so you need a ton of water. Thats why warnings go out when temps & dews rise...not drop. The only warning I see for low dews/humidity is Red Flag Warnings. I personally would feel calm relaxed and comfortable as low as it can go.
Speaking of Dewpoints in the 20s...
Current conditions.. Now thats what Im talking about. I might actually like temps in 90s.
Maybe the Dry air aloft will mix down a little more today. Still hot again today but maybe dewpoints wont be as bad. Heat advisory for NYC only. lol

HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR NYC FOR ANOTHER DAY OF NEAR 95 DEGREE HEAT INDICES. THIS SHOULD BE MARGINAL THOUGH AS WEST FLOW AWAY FROM ANY SEA BREEZES WILL MIX OUT DEW POINTS. IT IS ALWAYS A CHALLENGE WHEN FORECASTING DEW POINTS...BUT BELIEVE DEW POINTS WILL LOWER BY AFTERNOON DUE TO PLENTY OF MIXING TODAY...ALLOWING DRIER AIR ALOFT TO MIX DOWN TO THE SFC.
