The proposition is incorrect at least where I live! My winters are far from dry! It is also wrong to suppose that humid days are confined to the summer, warmth is not a necessary condition for humidity. The cold winter fogs here are a clear (!) example of 100% relative humidity.

Just as warmer liquids will hold more soluble minerals (salt etc), so warmer air will hold more water as vapour.

As a liquid cools, any dissolved minerals will condense out in the form of crystals, as air cools the water vapour condenses out as a liquid and if the air is cold enough forms frost.

In both cases it is as a result of the relative energy levels of the mediums concerned. Warmer water molecules are more active and therefore more likely to remain as vapour. As they lose heat energy they slow down and condense.

You can easily show that winter air is dryer by trying static electricity experiments at different times of the year - they will be much more effective and successful in the winter.

Also, because there is less water vapour in winter the air is clearer for making observations of the stars etc.

Simply, when the temperature drops below the "Dew Point" then the air can no longer hold the moisture and it condenses, like the condensation on your windows. On a larger scale, the moisture in the air is released, condenses to be seen as dew, the air therefore is dry.

it is because of the amount of evaporation in this 2 seasons .
in summer due to high amount of energy which is received by earth's surface ,the amount of water vapoure in atmosphere will increase and so it will be more humid .
in winter earth's surface will becom colder than summer and less energy will be received from atmosphere and so less evaporation will occure so winter is dry.

For Humidity - you need moisture and heat, which we get in the summer.

Winter - no heat - no humidity

cos lots of people get hot in summer and breathe out hot air and in winter people breathe out cold air
