Perhaps I'm wrong, but to me this summer seems to have been constantly
humid down here in London regardless of temperature or cloud cover. Is this
actually the case or am I imagining it?

Dew points give a good indication to how 'humid' it feels and the
following are the average maximum daily dew points for here from 1st
June - 31st July:

2015 = 15.2C
2016 = 17.0C
2017 = 16.8C.

So yes, this summer has been 'humid' but slightly less so than last
year, though last year the weather often did feel quite oppressive at times.

Certainly humid today, temp = 18.3C, DP = 18.3C; drizzle.
