WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LOW HUMIDITY?

Low humidity can make breathing more difficult, which can lead to a variety of health issues. Increased humidity can make skin more vulnerable to sunburns and even encourage the growth of mold.

HEATING AND HUMIDITY EFFECTS The comfort level is the most visible result of humidity; when you feel hot, you are hotter because you are exchanging heat with the environment more quickly than if you were cooler since there is less vapor in the air.

This implies that if you have sweaty hands or your shirt adheres to your back, it's because the humidity level in your environment is high enough for water vapor to condense on items and then evaporate off them once they cool down.

Another consequence of humidity is sweat production. Sweating occurs when the relative humidity is high enough for water to evaporate off the surface of the skin and from sweat glands, not because your body needs to cool off. Finally, relative humidity has an impact on how much fuel you will consume. For example, a car engine will burn more fuel (energy) per gallon if it has to work harder than usual to operate in lower temperatures.
