I always know when the humidity is low because then every time I get

You can damaged an IC at levels that won't generate a spark.

Yep.

OTOH,
'low humidity' in Central Florida is still over 50%.

Likewise here, in Baton Rouge, LA.


When humidity here is considered 'average', you can reach out and
squeeze water out of the air.
