Default Humidity measurement

All very puzzling as I would expect the weather to be reasonably heavy and
clammy at 90% humidity, although the same amount of water in the air at
10C outside and 20C inside would give quite a different relative humidity.


Therein lies the clue. The higher the air temperature, the more water it
can hold. At 10 degrees it can't hold very much - which is why even a
high relative humidity doesn't necessarily feel clammy. More likely to
feel 'raw'.
