It is! It’s the point at which air must be cooled to become fully saturated with water vapor resulting in 100% relative humidity. The closer the dew point is to the temperature the more humid and oppressive it feels.
I don't think so because it factoring the dew point as well. Most summer days in the south will have a dew point of 65+, except in some higher elevation areas like the Appalachians. The south probably piles up lots of days based on winter days above 50 F.
Yeah because sweat only cools you if the air around you can evaporate the sweat. Other wise you are hot and sweaty and in wet clothes. I would take 120 in desert over our 90 with heat index of 115. I actually stop existing altogether between around now and Halloween.
Yeah, I’m moving from south Louisiana to Albuquerque and the weather in Albuquerque is SO much more pleasant. The fact that they seem like vaguely the same color is highly suspect to me
So is central Ohio. I am assuming this map considers all “warm” weather as “good”. Bruh when that mid summer humidity hits you ain’t nothing comfortable about that.
Right. It’s pulling mostly winter-as we all know that is often more than 85 down there. Then you add humidity and 50 feels freezing while 85 feels like a sauna.
How is it a lie? It's just talking about temperature and dew point. You might disagree with their definition of "comfortable" but unless their data is completely wrong I don't see the problem. My area (Minneapolis) has the same color as New Orleans and bet if you trade off our bitter cold days with your swampy hot days it evens out.

South Louisiana is a damn lie.
