A question for our weather experts: Is the dew point a good guide to how unpleasant the summer weather will feel? I walked for a mile both Monday and Wednesday with dew points in the 50s, and now the dew point is 70. Thanks!

Thank you to you both! The dew point is now 70 in Cherry Hill; doesn't seem like a good day for a walk.

Agree on your assenment for conformentI don't think your walking on Monday and Wednesday had anything to do with the dewpoint raising to 70.
But in answer to your question: Yes. The dewpoint is a pretty good indication of how sticky it feels. If you want a technical explanation of dewpoint, you can Google it. But generally, the lower the dewpoint, the more comfortable it is. 60 to 70 is the dewpoint range in which it goes from comfortable to uncomfortably sticky. (Each person will have a different level at which they feel comfortable or uncomfortable. But the chart below works for most people.)
