Humidity

Instead of using humidity directly we use dew point to measure what people commonly mean when saying it feels humid. Dew point is classified into 4 categories: Dry (under 25°F), Comfortable (25°F to 60°F), Muggy (60°F to 70°F) and Oppressive (70°F or greater). The table below shows the percentage of days with a dew point within a particular class.

	Jan	Feb	Mar	Apr	May	Jun
Dry	80.2	83.1	42.5	22.3	3.0	0.0
Comfortable	19.8	16.9	57.5	77.7	92.2	69.2
Muggy	0.0	0.0	0.0	0.0	4.8	28.1
