do you feel colder when humid? For instance, two places with the same temperature and different humidity?

Answer 1

You feel hotter because your perspiration wouldn't eveporate coz the air is already saturated with water if its humid. (if the temp is hot)

You feel colder (if temp is cold) because water droplets tend to condense and make you wet.

Answer 2

I assume you were referring to a cold temperature to start with. Of course you only feel hotter if the temperature is at a certain threshold (70°F or higher).

The answer is, maybe. Scientists disagree on whether humidity has any effect on cold perception at low temperatures. But everyone says a dry cold is tolerable. It could be that humidity in cold air just robs your body of heat quicker than dry cold air.

Answer 3

Higher humidity allows for MORE heat to be in the air, not less. You may have a sensitivity to humidity which causes you to feel cooler, but in reality higher humidity increase the ability of air to carry heat.

Answer 4

I know in the summer if it's humid outside it's horrible. Everything sticks to you and you feel weighted down. Dry heat is easier for me to handle than a humid heat.

I bet it works the same way for cold too, only water in the air when it's cold will turn to ice or snow...

Answer 5

humidity makes a huge difference. chilly air with extreme relative humidity "feels" less warm than dry air of a similar temperature because extreme humidity in chilly climate will strengthen the conduction of warm temperature from the body. Conversely, warm air attended with techniques from extreme relative humidity "feels" hotter than this is because of an higher conduction of warm temperature to the body mixed with a lessening of the cooling result afforded with techniques from evaporation. Canada is more advantageous in variety , for that reason less warm. They prob have more advantageous humidity by way of bigger more advantageous forests/greenery and water bodies.

Answer 6

The Feel Like Tempature is based on two charts

the heat index http://www.srh.noaa.gov/bmx/tables/heat_index.php

and the wind chill.

It depends on the tempature and humidity levals but usualy if it is a warm day it will make you feel hotter and on a cool day cooler

humidity is water vapor and water is a conductor of heat and cold

Answer 7

I feel hotter when it's humid, I don't know about you though lol

Answer 8

hotter when humid

Answer 9

no!! you feel like you cant breathe and are about to die from heat exhaustion. just moving hurts.
