Running

First day in almost 2-3 weeks where the dew point isn't above 20c at 7am in the morning. Been slacking on speed work as a result and it's been so good to run faster again. 😍

Is the dew point how you typically describe humidity levels? Never heard that before.

Dew point is at what temp the air is unable to retain more water vapor (humidity + temp). For exercise it impacts your ability to sweat. High dew points are muggy/hot and unable to sweat vs hot/dry weather where you're still able to sweat.

Better metric to determine enjoyment of run for me vs measuring temp or humidity separately. :)

A common thing weather reports here say is “It’s 20 degrees, but feels like 25 with humidity”, which I personally don’t find very helpful. 

I like how ministry for the future uses “wet bulb temp” for most discussions, but it feels a bit too technical. 

Dew point is the most intuitive to me.
