As Above So Below
When I was growing up average humidity was about 9 to 15 % depending on the year. Now it tends to be about 16%. If it gets up to 30% it is uncomfortable for me. We use swamp coolers here so if the humidity gets over 30% the coolers don't work. In the 50's a lot of people in the eastern humid climates who had asthma were told to move to the south west to get out of the humidity. The altitude is a lot higher too.
I regularly go to the mountains in the summer at about 3600 ft elevation and the humidity stays around 50 to 60 percent up there...Here where I live is an elevation of about 500ft and the summer humidity is higher many days but running the ac in the house keeps it down around 50%...During the winter I have humidifiers I run to keep the house from drying out from running heat, I usually maintain a 40 to 50 percent humidity in the house during wintertime...My body is too accumulated for humid climates, my skin dries out really bad if the humidity is too low for extended periods of time...
