Default Temp/humidity and HP differences.

Took the car (which is for sale) out for a ride last night and it was like 60* and cool, as opposed to 90 and humid and the car seemed to have a lot more power. I mean the car normally pulls hard but the power increase was very noticeable.
Is there any kind of rule of thumb for Air temp/humidity and horsepower output and what kind of increases there are?

A local tuner reported a loss of about 60 hp from a humid 95* august day to a cool 55* autumn day in his D1SC procharged trans am - FWIW. On that note, I can't wait to get this broken in, tuned, and to the track in October!
