– dew point. I know over 65 dew point is gross. But why?

Answer 1

Dew point just means the temperature when water comes out of the air and becomes a liquid. Dry air needs to be cooler and more water content condensed at higher temperatures. 65 is a pretty humid dew point, so when it’s hot it’ll be terrible because that humid air transfers heat much faster than dry air so it feels even hotter.
