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


A humidity of 35% and a dewpoint of 11°C means the temperature
is 28°C, which was not mentioned. Those are not oppressive conditions
really, but the temperature is quite high and what it feels like may
depend on what you are doing. Today will certainly feel fresher simply
because the temperature is lower.
