Why does it feel more humid during the summer than during the winter?
The cold in winter causes the humidity to drop by condensing it out. The heat in summer can cause the humidity to rise by evaporating more water from nearby bodies of water.
In the winter cold air is brought into homes and heated how does this change the relative humidity?
The relative humidity decreases. This explains why there is static and people walk around with chapped lips. Here is a link to a good explanation: http://en.allexperts.com/q/Accuweather-2546/2008/6/Physicial-Geography.htm
Why don't the weather reports include the temperature humidity index during the winter months?
Ask Dr. Clements...
On a cold winter day the air temperature is 2C and the wet-bulb temperature is -1C What is the relative humidity at this location?
51%.... open to the Relative Humidity chart in the reference tables. the wet bulb temperature is -1C and the dry bulb temp. is 2C, making a difference of 3C. On RH chart, go down to 3C column (difference between the Wet bulb and dry bulb) until it intersects the dry bulb 2C. At this intersection is 51%
Is humidity heat?
No its the amount of moisture in the air. In effect humidity means it will be hotter with summer type temperatures (because its harder for the sweat galnds to cool yourself because of the film of moisture from humidity) and in winter humidity makes it colder (for same reason, but different effect - its a cold layer sitting on your skin and you feel 'damp'
What is the average relative humidity during the winter for Flint Michigan?
yeah
What is the average relative humidity in the winter in flint?
It is cold and humid.
What is the average humidity in Flint Michigan during the winter?
The average relative humidity for all of Michigan is in the mid to high 70% range. Flint hangs right around 73%.
What is the average relative humidity in winter in Flint Michigan?
It is cold and humid.
During the subfreezing days in many parts of the country the indoor relative humidity decreases when homes are heated furniture and skin dry out and static electricity increases what explains the lack?
The humidity in winter is lower.
How much moisture is in the air in the Chihuahuan Desert?
The answer depends upon the season of the year. During the winter (dry season) the relative humidity during the day is frequently below 10%. During the summer monsoon the humidity can be 50, 60, 70% or higher. I live in the Chihuahuan Desert and we have had some heavy summer rains in recent days. The last I checked the humidity was 76% at noon.
What is a good way to increase indoor humidity in winter?
If you have de-humidifiers then just take out the plug.
How is the word humidity used in a sentence?
You could say "The humidity outside is very high."During the summer the humidity in the air is usually higher than in winter.

How does temperature affect humidity?
Temperature does have a direct effect on relative humidity. ( just to make the water vapor move faster when war and slower when cool). As temperature goes up, the ability of the air to hold more gas goes up, so relative humidity goes down (unless more water vapor is being added). very good answer if you don't trust it. i got an A on a take home test with this answer Temperature affects humidity when they take place in the Dew point when water vapour changes to liquid. At this temperature humidity is high. The higher the temp, the more water vapor can be carried in air. Thus if you heat air (as is done in the winter) the relative humidity drops ... the air seems dryer even though the total amount of water vapor is unchanged.
What is the ideal indoor temperature and humidity?
75 degrees F OK that's fine for temperature but what is the ideal room humidity percentage? Actually, most building codes only require you at keep the temperature at 68 degrees, which is ideal. The ideal room humidity percentage is usually around 50% ASHRAE Standards: 68-74F @40-60% relative humidity in the Winter 73-79F @40-60% relative humidity in the Summer
