It has gotten much more humid around here (TN) than it used to be. It used to be that dew points above 70F were rare. Now it is common. We had a dew point of 79F last year. 79!!!!

All afternoon today was dewpoint of 74 at 94 degrees - just disgusting conditions.
That 79 dewpoint sounds like dogshiit for sure - damn!
Same here about the rise in humidity - it has always been somewhat humid here (the area is labeled "subtropical"), but the last few years have really been something else with year-round extreme atmospheric moisture, regardless of temperature, except for rare and brief occurrences. Currently, we are on about three straight months were it is 80+% humidity every single night (I know this as I work a split shift daily, which means I am at my non-a/c job from late evening until about 2:00AM for the second part of the split). To say I've had enough of being sopping wet at work every day and night is an understatement.
