• Humidity/Dew Point
o Dew point is often a better measure of how comfortable a person will
find the weather than relative humidity because it more directly
relates to whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby
cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points
feel more humid.
o Over the course of a year, the dew point typically varies from 30°F
(dry) to 56°F (comfortable) and is rarely below 18°F (dry) or above
60°F (comfortable).
o The time of the year between May 25 and October 15 is the most
comfortable, with dew points that are neither too dry nor too muggy
