If we convert the specific humidity thresholds to dewpoint, here's a map showing the extent of summertime "mugginess", where the average dewpoint is 65°F+ (northern blue contour line). The southern blue contour line shows the region where the average summertime dewpoint is a soupy 72°F+.

As such, I’m now curious about very hot May days being the result of peak land surface temperatures alongside increased solar radiation, in addition to higher air temps & humidity 😵‍💫

Shameless but relevant plug for a paper I published in May—we found that land surface temperatures peak in Miami during 🚨May🚨 & June, correlating with increased solar radiation at the surface…

Daytime land surface temperature and its limits as a proxy for surface air temperature in a subtropical, seasonally wet region
Land surface temperatures (LSTs) captured via satellite remote sensing are widely used as a proxy for the surface air temperatures (SATs) experienced outdoors, a key component of human heat exposure. ...
