That would be one heck of a steam bath wouldnt it?
Thanks for posting that. I have always wondered what the highest dewpoint ever recorded was. 95° - wow thats steamy!
The highest (officially) I have ever seen our dewpoint here where I live was a dewpoint of 77° at the airport. At my house at that time the DP was like 79°. Its not ever been like that again. Typically our peak dewpoints around here run in the upper 60s and lower 70s in the summer, with occasional mid 70s.

A dew point warmer than body temperature (98f) would cause water to condense in your lungs drowning you anyhow. Thinking back to my birthday though it was a pleasant 67f on 31st August back in 80 something forgot the year. This was in North West England and not far from the scottish border and about 55*N.
Hottest temperature I experienced ever was 34c or may be 35c probably in England or France.

Well, when I was about 22 mos old living in Farmington, MN, the temperature once reached 107° F (41° C).
The hottest I remember would probably be on July 15, 2006, when it officially reached 102° F at Park Point in Duluth - with just 22% relative humidity. I was right next to the weather station, swimming in the maybe 60° F water. Quite the experience.
I think the 81° or so dewpoint I felt here in 2003 was more impressive, however.
