    Humid air means the dew point temperature is greater than 20°C (68°F) and thus humid air means hot, warm and oppresive weather. What does humid weather feel like? Usually it feels like rain , because at 100% relative humidity the temperature and the dew point are the same, and as long as there is something for the water vapor to condense ...

    What does very humid mean? Very humid areas are usually “warmer” in temperature. Humidity refers to amount of water vapor that is present in the air. Water vapor is formed during the Evaporation process. Because of too much heat, more water is vaporized. So the after effect, if the area is very humid, then the area is warmer.

    Humidity has been proven to be higher inside than outside, but that is mostly true in warmer seasons. It is mostly true because, in winter months, there is still typically worse ventilation inside than outside. Though as we mentioned above, air conditioners give out more water to the air, which increases the concentration of water in the air.
