I know today will be fresher, but I'm not sure the humidty or dewpoints will
reflect this.


Having mentioned this before, I have been making a note, this year, of days
which feel sticky and otherwise similar days which do not.

Are they listed anywhere?

Thus far, I can find no common factor between the days which feel sticky, other
than that the perception of such a day has little to do with the humidity.

So, I cannot answer your question, but can confirm the experience which has
happened three times this year at my location.

Have you checked out the NEIS and Smithsonian Archives?
