CINCINNATI — It's officially the muggiest day Cincinnati has seen in over a decade.
On Monday, the National Weather Service said the dewpoint in Cincinnati reached 80 degrees for the first time in 11 years. The dewpoint helps to determine what it feels like outside; the higher the dewpoint, the muggier it feels outside.
Monday is only the seventh day on record that has seen an 80 degree dewpoint in Cincinnati, the NWS said.
"The record at the site, for those curious, is 82 degrees Fahrenheit on July 17, 1943," read a tweet from the agency.
