what is considered a comfortable level of humidity i.e. one where i am not continuously perspiring indoors and

Answer 1

40 to 60 percent humidity is considered comfortable. Above that and it is steamy or clammy or dank. Below that and it is dry and your skin becomes scratchy and your lungs have to work hard to keep from drying out.

Answer 2

Comfortable Humidity Level

Answer 3

Comfortable Humidity

Answer 4

yeah, GloCo is right. Simple scale I just made up for your entertainment:

Summer dewpoints (all expressed in degrees F):

45- dry
46-55 comfortable
56-65 humid
66-75 very humid
76+ oppressively humid

Winter dewpoints:

31+ not too dry
11-30 dry
10- very dry

Note that the temperature can never be lower than the dewpoint, so if the summer low temp for the day is predicted to be, say, 52, you know that it's probably not going to be humid. (unless it's humid during the day, but a cold front passes and dries it out) In the winter, if your temp is 3, you know it's also very dry. The dew point inside your house will be essentially the same as outside, so if you have your house heated to 72, you have very dry air inside the house, and that's when you really get those static shocks when you touch doorknobs. That's why lots of people like to use humidifiers in the winter.

Fun fact: If the dew point was ever over 100, you would have to constantly cough water out of your lungs, or you would drown! Since your body temp is 98.6, air would be cooled inside your lungs to below the dew point, the water vapor would condense inside your lungs, and it would essentially "rain" inside your lungs!

Answer 5

Comfortable humidity would probably be about 55 and for sure below 50. Check "dewpoint"; that really determines humidity

Answer 6

50% RH and 25 Degree C is best for human being
