Yes that data is accurate, but it's stupid. Humidity is stupid. Misery index is stupid. Everything is in the Dew point. 81°dew point is impossibly oppressive!
An 81deg dew point (not sure how to do a superscript degree symbol on this phone) with 86deg air temperature would have been a lot worse than with just 81deg air temp.
An 85deg air temperature with only a 79deg dew point (Misery Index of 164deg) is arguably worse conditions than 82deg air temp and 81deg dew point.
Simply put, this is why you need an index that includes BOTH the air temperature and dew point, aka, The Misery Index.
Your comment is ignorant. The misery index is for the Oprah crowd. The Dew Point already says everything. 81° dp is 81°dp is 81°dp. Dew Point is already the measure of misery. The misery index is repetitive.
81° dp is far worse than almost everyone reading this website has ever experienced. 75° is oppressive.
FWIW, I think that trying to do ascii degree symbol (alt 248) on your phone is way too cute by half.

Here's where we stand so far. (projected conditions)

81F dew point? That's wild. I wonder, from your experience, how much would that slow someone down in a 5k/10k? For a mortal like me, I don't think I will be able to run within 2 mins of my PB.
I wouldn't know. I've never come close to experiencing 81°. Do you remember 2007 World XC? They were dropping like flies. Even Bekele. The dew point there was 75°.

thanks. That was brutal. The 28:55 actually looks impressive to me now.

I have actually run in these conditions. What your closed mind is failing to grasp, is that Dew Point, is critically important, but only part of the story. The air temperature is also important. That has nothing to do with ophra or whatever other nonsense you are espousing.
Scroll down to the August table. The Dew Point got up to 75° for a couple of days.
Think about the runners who prepped for Tokyo in Hawaii beforehand. Didn't they realize that they call Hawaii paradise for a reason? Expect DP in the low 60°s there.

I don't fail to grasp anything about this. You don't get dew points like that without sustained air temperatures in the 80s-90s, mostly over a warm ocean. The dew point is everything.

Nobody here is saying the dew point is not important!

Here is a simple question for you:
Which conditions are worse to run in?:
Case 1: Air temperature 85deg, dew point 81deg.
Case 2: Air temperature 81deg, dew point 81deg.
Which is worse, Case 1 or Case 2?
Both are equal. You couldn't possibly discern the difference.

Both are equal??
Let’s make it simpler to discern, then.
Which conditions are worse to run in?: Case 1: Air temperature 90deg, dew point 81deg. Case 2: Air temperature 81deg, dew point 81deg. Which is worse, Case 1 or Case 2?
Both are equal. You couldn't possibly discern the difference.

(Of course, both conditions are brutal.)
Wow, is pride going to keep one from opening their brain, and just delete when they don’t want to admit they actually might be wrong?🙄
