After my comment I looked further to find comparisons for dewpoint (F) versus relative humidity (% at T)
Dewpoint considerations are consistent with Pondboy's Post
Dewpoint less than or equal to 55F is dry and comfortable range
Dewpoint of 55 to 65 F is becoming" sticky " range
Dewpoint over 65 is oppressive
To try to link dewpoint and relative humidity I found this comparison which includes the units of measure for typical recommended AC settings
If RH is 50% and indoor T = 80F the dewpoint would be 59 F.
Hope thos helps for comparison without having water contents and graphs.
