Methinks this observing station is out of whack - the rest of the obs in NE Florida show dewpoints in the mid to upper 60's. The highest dewpoints I've ever seen were 80-82, here in the midwest when the corn is at it's peak (lots of evapotranspiration) and in subtropical southeast Asia (southern Japan and in Taiwan, from warm water and lush vegetation).
