We all know each others' preferences for dry or humid heat, but what about your preferred dewpoint/dewpoint depressions for specific groups of air temps in summer? Do you prefer the highest dews to come along with the hottest weather, or do you prefer a drying trend as temps go up? Use your own ranges for what is possible in your ideal (or your real-world) climate. For me, while not hard-and-fast and I'd enjoy dews a bit outside that range, it goes roughly like this....
Temp above 105°F: 50-65°F DP
95-105°F air temp: 65-78°F DP
80-95°F air temp: 75-80°F DP
70-80°F air temp: 70-80°F DP (i.e. temp/DP delta of less than 10°F)

I'm similar to you Benfxmth, although you have more experience with extreme heat than I do. 100+ I prefer slightly lower dews (50s-60s) because triple digit heat with tropical dew points is a little too much even for me. 80-95 I prefer 70s dews as y'all know. True paradise weather. In the 70s I like 70s dews but I also like 60s dews and below. |

75 F-85 F dew points for all temps 75 F and above, saturated for all temps below that

Very similar to you Benfxmth. I like lower DPs with higher temps. At 40°C any dew point higher than 20°C is difficult, while at 30°C even 26°C dew point is fine. |

Air temp above 35°C: DP 7~12°C
Air temp 30~35°C: DP 8~13°C
Air temp 25~30°C: DP 9~14°C
Air temp 20~25°C: DP 10~16°C
Air temp 12~20°C: DP 10~18°C
Air temp below 12°C: Within 2°C difference between T and DP

This assumes you like humidity or a mix of humid and dry heat.
Temp >60: dew <60

Going by daily highs:
20C -> 20C DP
25C -> 19C DP
30C -> 17C DP
35C -> 12C DP
40C -> as dry as possible

32-70 F (0-21 C) seems to be my preferred dew point range regardless of air temperature.

I don't like much dewpoint variation, especially in summer. I'd be perfectly happy if it stayed between 50ºF-65ºF all the time in summer, regardless of temps.

Temps above 85F or dews above 65F should never happen.
Highs in the 70’s with dews in the 50’s is ideal for summer.

Lower dew points are more comfortable, but I want rain and storms and variety, so picking a small range doesn't make sense.
Temps > 104F: I have no experience here. Dry I guess.
Temps 86-104: Still dry most of the time
Temps 68-86: dry or humid. I would not enjoy 86/86, but 68/68 is fine
Temps 50-68: dry or humid
Temps 32-50: dry or humid
Temps < 32: crummer bummer

< 50ºF: T - DP ≤ 10
50º to 60ºF: : T - DP ≤ 10
60º to 70ºF: 50º to 65º DP
70º to 80ºF: 50º to 70º DP
80º to 90ºF: 45º to 65º DP
90º to 100ºF: 40º to 60º DP
100ºF+: 35º to 55º DP
