>>> Just curious...what are your humidity values on say a bad day...and what >>> are they on >>> what you would consider a comfortable day?
I honestly don't monitor the humidity numbers, nor do the local weather forecasters give them out as regular statistics every day. Over the past few years, they've moved to talking more about "dew points", which is the temperature at which dew forms. I think that number is fairly steady through the day, whereas relative humidity changes as the temperature rises. One quick way of judging is to look at the daily low temperatures. When the humidity (dew point?) is high, the temps won't drop below 70 at night here, maybe not below 75 or occasionally even 80 degrees. Early this week, when it was so pleasant during the days, the lows were dropping to the low-mid 60's, but now the forecasted lows for the next five days are about 73 or so. In other words, it could be worse here than it is right now, but it's humid - trust me! I've watched Janice's low temps in the summer, and I can tell that her humidity is worse than ours. I just know that on some days, it feels like you're slogging through butter to walk to the barn... Karen Thomas, NC
