This is pretty ideal for a heat lover, it includes some cooler nights in winter, I'd prefer a bit more seasonal variation. The rain balance looks OK, May stands out rather too much from the other months esp. with the avg low.
I imagine those dewpoints are more dangerous than 140 F (60 C) with a dewpoint of 60 F (16C).
Once, just for the sake of being crazy, I put myself and a thermomether inside the blanket. After several minutes, the temperature there reached 37.3 °C (99.1 °F). I don't know what the humidity was, but since I was breathing out water vapor, it must have been near 100%. I was sweating like crazy, my body was totally wet, the water was pouring down from my hair :S it wasn't that uncomfortable, though, it didn't feel that hot, it just felt "sweaty".

But dewpoints over body temperature for longer than half an hour or so can be lethal; more so than extreme dry heat. You can't sweat out the heat so you drown in your own sweat.
