0 -30 % is low (dry)
31-50 % is average (cofortable)
51-100% is high (damp)

Answer 2

That's not unusual. Humidity varies so widely that there is no concensus on what "normal" humidity is. In atmospheric science, generally two standards are used: dry air, with 0% humidity (which is clearly NOT normal), and 50% relative humidity. Overall, RH in the 50-60% range is common.

Dewpoint is generally a more useful measure when considering how humidity affects the "feeling" of the air. Dewpoints in the 50s are comfortable; in the 60's, muggy, and in the 70's or above, sweltering.

Answer 3

u have never heard a weatherman say humidity is normal always above or below and relative humidity in scale is 0...also depends on the area u r from....

Answer 4

to me it is normal, i have 50% indoors, and slightly more outdoors. but remember one thing, the standard measurement is in the shade, so when you stand in the sun, it may bemany degrees less. only in really humid places like rainy season in the tropisc, ste sun doesnt lower the humidity much, because there is still plenty of watre to evaporate into the air. so to me it normal, or better said , moderate

Answer 5

In W NC it is often very high but then you go to New Mexico and it will be 7% and they would like it more humid.

Answer 6

the humidity is relative to your geographic location. we can't tell if that is average or normal unless we know what the area is that you are referring to.

Answer 7

In Louisiana ~95% is normal

Answer 8

In Florida, about 99% all of the time.
