Humidity

Humidity is the level of moisture in the air. In most of the country, the outdoor humidity varies with the seasons. It rises in the summer and drops in the winter. In areas like Florida, and the Gulf Coast of Texas (we see you, Houston), it may feel humid year-round due to the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico.

High humidity levels can make it feel hotter outside or in your house. Low humidity levels can make it feel colder. While you can’t do anything about outdoor humidity levels, you can control the humidity in your house.
