You have to take some of these high dewpoints from 1995 with a grain of salt. The chilled mirror sensors in use at the time had to be regularly cleaned or they could produce spuriously high readings.

The hottest day of my life.July 15th 1995..was at an outdoor party..temp 102 dewpoint 83. It was so hot I had to go inside,take my face and plant it on the AC for relief..Heatwave killed hundreds in Chicago

Same here.  Never felt it more nasty HI wise before or since.  It was stifling beyond words.  You literally could not take 10 steps with starting to drip sweat.

@donsutherland1 @bluewave Retracting my earlier analysis, because I think it was caused by the way NOAA attributes data for the cooperative stations. Most report in the morning and the high and low get attributed to the day of reporting, even though it reflects the prior day. So, I think most of the discrepancy in July was due to the co-op stations having an extremely hot June 30th attributed to July 1, which gave them an extra hot day last month.

Meh

 

It was way worse earlier this year

 

Todays feels better than yesterday

I was in Chicago in early July where it was much like today there-it was hotter here but a little less humidity. Last summer’s where it hit 100 didn’t feel this bad.
