Once temps are over 86°, dewpoint matters more than air temp, trust me

Yes, but San Antonio/Austin feature quite a bit of humidity, much closer to Houston than to Phoenix, and temps are hotter in those two Texas cities than in Houston. Unlike Houston (and coastal communities of the metro), those two Texas cities don't get the strong sea breezes off the Gulf, cloud cover, etc.

Sea breezes actually make it worse when water temps are in the mid 80's, it's not like coastal NJ or CA ffs

Dewpoints in the 70s feel nice to me in short durations. Better than the harsh sunlight of dry heat.

No they don't. While the waters are warm, they never get as warm as the adjacent air/land, so whatever breezes comes off the Gulf is going to be cooler than the adjacent land; this allows for decent appreciation of sea breeze, especially when said breezes blow in fast, some of the fastest in the US.

Bright sun and high dewpoints is a nasty combination

No rain for most of the drought areas in New England, areas not in drought in VT and NW NH received nearly an inch of rain. The extreme deviations in precipitation will be harder to depict on the drought monitor site.

Very true, especially if there is no payoff with a beautiful storm in the evening to cool things down and I basically just love storms, its why I usually like a nice humid day.

The one thing I love about humidity is that feeling of knowing a storm is coming at some point . When its 6 or 7 and still sunny and humid and I am on the porch and there are no dark grey clouds forming and no wind picking up, I am miserable. out come the damn sprinklers and all my plants just seem to be hanging on

We got some at least, Chicopee reported about an inch. Don't think we got as much.
