Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. A reading of 77% means the air is holding most of the moisture it can at that temperature. This makes the air feel much heavier than usual and warmer than the actual temperature suggests.

High humidity can cause discomfort, sweating, unrest, and difficulty in breathing, while low humidity leads to dry skin and irritation. This is why meteorologists combine humidity with temperature to calculate the “feels like” value.

By monitoring humidity with Weather Pulse Now, you can better prepare for outdoor activities, workouts, or even simple indoor comfort.
