And the heat goes on

My friend Steve the meteorologist contextualizes:

As the thread notes, the 97 might be measurement error, but somewhere in the 90s is possible given surrounding water temperatures and other measurements. As a reminder since it’s been awhile since we’ve done a proper dewpoint thread, how dewpoints feel to people used to temperate climates:

Below 60: Dry, comfortable
Mid 60s: Isn’t really adding or subtracting from the heat
70: Starting to feel humid
75: Pretty uncomfortable
Upper 70s: Ungodly swamp. Louisiana in July.
80: JFC (this is fairly rare in the US; can happen in waterlogged cornfields in direct sun that are in rapid growth stage)
90: Can’t even imagine, body will overheat in minutes
97: You will not live long
