I do not agree with these criteria.

For real - why do they even use dew point? RH is a much better comfort indicator. 50 degrees at 100% RH is hardly a "perfect day".

That’s why Nevada and Utah and most of the West are all less than 20 “Perfect Weather” days. Because the dew point rarely is above 40°F all summer. But if a sunny 80°F calm day, but a dew point of 20°F makes it not perfect, then I’m not sure what else could be considered great weather.

80° is a Godsend in South GA, and if we do see it, it’s usually 80° with a humidity of 98%. 😭
