In the northeast the temp is 52 and humidity is 46%. In Ireland the temp is 52 but the humidity is 80% - how does that effect how the air feels?
Thanks.

There is a progressive relationship between them.
Here we can't show a graph.

Relative humidity (RH) governs the amount of moisture contained in materials at equilibrium with the environment. This is almost independent of temperature. As relative humidity changes, the object's water content adjusts to the new relative humidity level, creating a new equilibrium. At higher RH, there is more water in objects. This occurs slowly, depending on the thickness and absorbency of the material. For example, experiments by the Image Permanence Institute (IPI) in Rochester, NY show that a book on a shelf will take four to six weeks to equilibrate in the center to a one-time change. The outside layers of the book equilibrate quickly and the middle is slowest to change.
