A couple of days ago (Thursday) the temperature topped out at 91 degrees with dewpoints between 65 and 70. That’s the uncomfortably humid range for most of us, but it can be much worse. A viewer recently asked about the highest dewpoints ever recorded in Milwaukee, so here they are:

 82     July 30, 1999; July 4, 1977

 81       August 6, 1968

 80       August 14, 1995;  July 13, 1995; July 14, 1995; September 7, 1985

 Bear in mind that dewpoint records have only been kept since the 1960’s, so it is possible that some folks will recall days that flirted with the above records. Needless to say, days with dewpoints in the 80-degree range are memorably uncomfortable!
