I was just watching the news and the weatherman said something that made me laugh derisively. (It's not nice to be derisive. I should work on that.)
Direct quote: "Can't you just feel the humidity??"
Umm...
From the way he said it, I could tell he thought there was a LOT of humidity in the air.
There isn't.
A bit, but not much. Not enough to really mean much of anything.
Especially to this girl who grew up in the South. It is SO DRY here, I have to put on lotion constantly and my skin is still shriveled.
I looked it up. The following are the actual current humidity percentages for various cities of interest:
Salt Lake -- 17% (hahahahahahaha. This is where he was reporting from.)
Provo -- 34%
My hometown -- 53%
Steven's hometown -- 64%
None of these are too extremely high, either.
But I'd say 17% is pretty much nothing. So is 34%.
I just can't stop laughing.

Yeah. The humidity here was 57% today. And that's low. He really has no idea. He'd better stay out west because he'd never survive in the south. Bless his heart. :)
I KNOW!!!! Everyone has been complaining about how it's so muggy lately. . . . I just shake my head and chuckle.
I don't wanna hear about the weather! I wanna hear about baby updates...lol. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. :P
Las Vegas' current humidity: 9%
34% humidity sounds pretty humid to me and I know I would die in anything >50%.
But you would probably call 90 degrees hot and we would laugh hysterically at that. "Hot" is a term we reserve for anything >115.
Hot and humid are relative to what you are used to.
