Hi,

I'm tracking weather in cities to see if it would be a good fit. I'm wondering at what temperature and humidity level is it that you get that sticky, gross feeling? I despise hot and humid days but can't remember what the exact temps were when I felt like I was melting the second I stepped outside. Thanks

80 F+

I don't know people in El Paso and Phoenix do it. If I could live in any weather all year round It'd be 50-70 F.

I'd say a temp of 75F or more with a dewpoint of 60F or more.

80+ with a dewpoint 72+. I actually kind of like it on the humid side though.

It's going to vary a little from person to person. In summer temps dewpoints between 60-65 will be noticable and inching towards sticky. Between 65-70 is uncomfortable to some degree for most people. Over 70 bring a towel to wipe the sweat off, lol.

Uhm... the line between "sticky" and "not sticky" is not very clear, also it changes with the person.

At 100 °F, one may feel sticky above 20%
At 90 °F, one may feel sticky above 40%.
At 80 °F, one may feel sticky above 80%.
At 70 °F, it may be difficult to feel sticky.

It's just what I'm supposing, not the reality.

well it depends on the actual temperature obviously.

like 16c dp with a 19c dp can feel sticky, but the same dp with a 36c temp will feel relatively comfortable.

Basically this... And I don't even pay attention to dew point if the temperature isn't above 80F/27C

Wow. I notice the difference whenever the temperature is above freezing.

I don't. Unless it's about to rain out.... Plus, to me "feeling sticky" means a heat index which doesn't happen unless the temps are above 80 degrees
