Yes, drier air warms and cools more quickly than humid air. As of now, the dew is the same as yesterday at the same time and I am one degree cooler, so it didn't really matter. 84/77 now.
I can relate as my house is approaching 200 years old, and I also have three window units all upstairs and set at 71 currently. That said, my house looks like a crack den inside with all the thermal curtains closed, its 77 downstairs, 94/78 outside.
I trust my station, and had similar higher dewpoints with my other Davis stations in the past. I've concluded it must be the river and the wetlands pretty close to my yard. 94/83 currently.
94/81 at home with an HI of 116. Stupid, just plain stupid but like I said in the main thread yesterday, to each their own for those that enjoy this stuff.
So did you mean that tomorrow will be much better? You may want to turn your heat off now and hydrate. Either way, its hot. Its real hot. It's damn hot.
88/79 now. 84 for a DP?! wow. I know my dew runs a bit higher than the surrounding area thanks to the river and wetlands around my yard. 84 is really high, are you near water as well?
It all counts. I've shoveled plenty of "fake" snow, bundled up for "fake" cold and I'm sure I'd sweat in fake heat, whether the sun was up or not. 86/77 here, in full sun, deplorable but to each their own.
