Explanation:
live in the desert where it's not very humid. When it's hot in the summer and I tell the temperature to someone that lives somewhere more humid than where I'm at, it never fails that they will say 'at least it's a dry heat.' While there is some truth to that, it's not much comfort when the temperature is over 110 degrees!
That said, the amount of moisture in the air is a very important aspect of our weather. Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. We often describe the humidity as a percentage that is actually a ratio comparing the actual amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold. When humidity is expressed as a percentage, it's called relative humidity.
So, for example, relative humidity of 50% means that the air is holding half of the water that it possibly can. If the relative humidity is 100%, it's holding the maximum amount of water possible. When that happens, it means that clouds can form, and it can start raining. The temperature of the air when that occurs is called the dew point temperature, and it's an important part of humidity.
