Will it be one of those "lucky days" for you? Dewpoint is 60 here and starting to feel muggy. Sun is very hot.
I noticed it went up as it got hotter this morning. Ugh. And I see yours is upper 50s...what low 50s?
I hadn't checked, I didn't realize it had risen. Our humidity thresholds are different, I find mid 50s and barely upper 50s humid so I'd call it dry heat.

But again, let me know when your DPs are in the 30s or 40s with temps in the 80s. That's dry heat. Upper 50s is just above normal for you anyway and not even below normal.
It's not just above normal for a day with highs in the 80s. But yes, that's rather rare.
Too bad that HP and cold air isn't diving south more into like the TN Valley for NorthStarDelight to feel it. lol Very hard this time of year for those kind of dives.
This one barely gets to the U.S border except over Maine
Yeah, you can say that again.
On the plus side, we've been getting rain, over an inch yesterday, and next week might be quite wet, depending on how the low pressure sets up.
Clouds and rain in summer = a good thing for down here.

I hear ya but its not just a matter of preferences. I mean DP drops 5-7 degrees from mid 60s and you're calling it dry?
I think Drier is the word. No? But I'll ask again... what do you call 80s/90s with Dew points in the 30s/40s? Extreme? I think to most that would be dry heat.
And you're still in the 70s at 1:30pm, not even 80s yet so technically this is "warm" not hot/heat. Not to nitpick but I think we're criss crossing thoughts.
Also.. you were arguing that DP's don't rise when the warmer temps come... I think I proved that it does.
here's Northern CT BDL Max temps and DPs. Was in the 30s and 40s with temps in the 60s/70s in April and as soon as 80s came around up went the DPs into the 50s and 60s.
It's science, not personal preference. When we get hot, dewpoints go up. When we get cool DPs go down.
Today feels a heck of a lot better then previous days, that's for sure.
Here's you're hourly OBS. Since 4am, DPs and Temps ROSE together.
Another day of boring ass weather here. I'm actually getting excited for your weather with the storms you guys have been getting lately. I'm here excited for you. Woohoo, cheers (clicks beer mugs).

I guess I'm using dry to mean not humid. A few degrees of dew point makes a big difference, as the absolute amount of water is related to dew point by an exponential function.

Well, that's dry too. This wikipedia chart doesn't distinguish below 50°F:

If I said that, I was being too broad. I think what I meant was we can get a shift to hotter weather without an increase of dew point, not that they don't generally. If the dew points didn't rise with the seasons, it would mean summer has very low relative humidities.

No rainy season t-storms yet for you, huh? I'd get antsy if the rainy season didn't start up in time when I lived in Ft Lauderdale. Nothing's worse than that all-day tropical sun - whew.

Yeah seems to be a late start this year. We've had a few storms here and there but nothing consistent. Usually by now the daily storms have usually been started for about 2 weeks.
