In many European countries there is no air conditioner in office buildings or home buildings, but people work normally when room temperature hits 80 F. Not really too hot if you get used to it.
61 in winter is a little low for me though. Usually I do 68 F.

not all of the usa is like that though. here in miami we set the A/C pretty high normally around 25 or 26c.

Add Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio to that list as well.

Florida is DEATH for me . No way I am living there unless mandatory. How do you guys even sleep at night.

we don't have heat in the winter and even if you think our 75 80f weather is hot you should know that it's humid during the winter even though it doesn't rain. the only time we aren't humid is during the spring as temps rise while moisture level remains low do to the lack of rainfall until about 3 or 4 weeks before the start of rainy season.

My city probably. The heat here is mostly dry, but sometimes, mostly just before rain it can be also humid.

Cities on the Persian gulf. Whether they experience dry or humid heat depends on the direction. But when the wind blows from the sea the humidity is on a whole new level. Cities famous for their oppressive humidities such as Singapore and Hong Kong can't even compare to them. While the two mentioned cities have dew points of 25-27c, Gulf cities are known to experience dew points above 30c. The world record for highest dew point belongs to Dhahran, a city located on the gulf.

I noticed that, in the summer, we get dry heat when the temperature is over 27C. But it's more humid 'heat' when it's around 24C-26C.

Dry heat in Boston happens when behind one frontal boundary but ahead of another one.

The one to the north of you would block Northerly winds from moving south and cause a southerly wind flow that normally brings heat/humidity

However, there would need be a second front to the south of you, stalled out somewhere over Georgia/Alabama/Mississippi/Louisiana/Texas line which would cut off the Gulf of Mexico moisture from being included in the air flow

Result would be a disgusting nippy rainy muggy Florida and Texas

A clear and less humid southeast, with continental dry warm air up the East Coast, and then a chilly showery cold bubble trapped into Northern Canada


Another practical scenario is same concept, but the oncoming front is West to East moving and stalled out over the Midwest


Most practical scenario is having a heat wave pattern but in the month of March or early April when Gulf waters are still not that warm. This allows for unseasonably hot temperature over continental landmass to not cause Gulf of Mexico water to evaporate as quickly and then rise into the atmosphere

Sea warms and cools with seasonal lag

Dry heat most often occurs when land is warmer than the sea (April-May-part of June)

Lahore, Pakistan (also New Delhi)

Dry heat in spring
Humid heat in summer (monsoons)

We do here all the time.

Nashville, TN... we get both, often. Probably because we're close enough to the ocean to feel its effects while being close enough to the Plains to feel its effects at the same time.
