Temp of 100* F and RH of 75% gives a dew point of 91 and a heat index of 150.

The world record dewpoint is apparently 94, in Ethiopia.

Not sure that's as farfetched as you seem to indicate. Just looked at history for Dallas, and the AVERAGE temp in July is 88, averaging 28 days in the month over 90 degrees (so surely several are up near 100), and the AVERAGE humidity for July is 80 (heck - the average is 81 for the year). Similar data for Key West FL, San Diego CA, Little Rock AR... Houston has higher average humidity, but a few degrees lower average temp. In Houston, Wednesday's forecast is a high of 95 degrees, humidity of 84%... Thursday is 95 and 87%.
