Upstate NY: 92 Degrees with 70% Humidity. Is Texas/the south that much worse, consistently?

I should also add that we have days in the upper 70s to give a breather from the 90+ weather. We have great variety.

Boo hoo. Is there a question here? Most of the US is frequently hot and humid in the summer.

Hey

I've never been down to Texas/Arizona to witness the heat. I've been to florida in the summer. It was very hot, and reminds me of upstate NY this weekend where we are in the low 90s with humidity between 65-75%.

Also, I don't have A/C.

It has not been 90s with 70% humidity anywhere in NY recently.

the gulf and the upper midwest seems to be the worst heat/humidity - corpus christie, tx is the worst place in teh country right now - dewpoint 82. Which is unbearable.

upstate ny is only 65 or so. bad, but not nearly.

Usually the florida panhandle is the worst.

Nice, this is the kind of thing I was wondering about. Sounds pretty brutal, to be honest.

Our dewpoint right now is 72, and it's actually cooled off a lot from this afternoon. Still brutal out.

No it has not. If you think it has post a nearby city in upstate NY and we'll look at the recent history.

Most places in upstate, NY have achieved this so far. You... nitwit!

I don't see 90F with 70% RH. I see 90F with 50% RH and 75F with 70% RH, which is about the same amount of water in the air. That's a HUGE difference from 90F with 70% RH simultaneously.

You can't just take the daily max RH and daily max temp and pair them together.

Dude, I'm not taking the max-max. I'm taking the CURRENT readings. I don't understand your inability to accept this data as fact. I'm not conjuring some bullsh1t values to seem more 'hard' with my heatwave toughness. When I posted it was 90/70 and earlier was worse

And when was this? It has not been at 90 / 70 in the last three days and I assume not at all this year.

To be fair, it probably was

but to a southerner or a Texan or whatever, that is nothing

It is never close to 92F with 70% humidity on that chart.

Gulf of mexico coastal humidity plus the temperature is consistently going to beat anywhere else in the US. I haven't of course experienced everywhere and all times and not NY but I would rank gulf coastal above midwest and the south. I just hate humidity it feels like a blanket of ickiness. Went for a run in the blazing sun today at 100 degrees in the desert and I felt great. I think humidity is directly correlated with obesity.

It wasn't. The OP is FOS. EOT.

The high today in Syracuse was 88°, DP 71°, RH was 57%.

Yesterday 90°, DP 66°, RH 45%

Saturday 85°, DP 65°, RH 51%
