Water in the air, 100% humidity is rain

[@user-jr8do2gu8n]

Me too

[@johnnorman1342]

This video explains what humidity does to hair, it explains how wet bulb thermometers work and it explains about the differences in clouds and dew and such. It doesn't actually explain what humidity is though...

[@UncleRuckus7600]

It's water in the air. As I type this I just realized you may be joking 🙃 lol

Why do I feel "I can understand it but I cannot understand" vibe

[@nagendraprasad2926]

Best explain Thank you Sir Good day

[@padawanporter]

Thank you for a solid description tied to evap/cond rates. YT had just sent me down a rabbit hole of several Humidity explainers by non-meteorologists. If I had a nickel for every time I heard "air is a sponge"... sheesh.

This video is too good to have so few views

[@mad-b264]

That is fascinating, Again it is amazing what the body can actually do, I looked because today and the last few days its been horrible, Been sweating like stupid, And a neighbors said he been the same, So had to look it up, I can understand why the body feels horrible when it is humid, Great for detox then, lol.... I do know it wasn't like this when I was a kid, The older I have got the more I notice blimps in the weather getting worse, In other words the weather is getting worse....

[@andrespinto1731]

So the higher the humidity (dryer) the worst it first for hot weather ?

[@suewright1299]

Well, that was definitely an extremely interesting video I’m glad I didn’t miss! Excellent Aidan, very informative and explains why, at certain times, I get such changes in my hair. Very many thanks indeed.

What happens when the environment is reduced and it's at 100 % humidity; will the humidity be forced to merge and become water?

[@gytoser801]

Humidity, Decreases heat dissipation in the air Decreases Temperature change in the air Decreases evaporation

[@nicholefieldbutch321]

Air and water. Also thinking about fogs and mist

[@ferdinandkraft857]

Very informative!

[@drstock1988]

Very good and learned lots of things

[@ItsJefin]

I don't understand , someone please explan in simple English

[@theflipflapchannelcreatedb8160]

The best thing about humidity is that it can lead into convection, which brings us rain and thunderstorms!

[@kevindudeja291]

Best to learn about humidity from a meteorologist. Thanks

[@keyurpatel5389]

Is it possible to set 0 Humidity at 70 c temperature??
