It was not in my pocket. It is in a train. So why it is so humid? > Does this trigger new ideas for user interfaces? > humidity + pressure + temperature is nice for weather forecasts if that are outdoor values. You can calculate the dewpoint. The dewpoint is a good estimation of the temperature the next morning. So you are not surprised too much if it becomes cold. You can also estimate the lower cloud base with that. That is the reason why I have a hih6130-family device with some flow of air attached to my bicycle. Regards, Andreas
