Right now, here (I'm ~60 miles of Tucson) the Humidity is around 30%.
Now that might seem low from where ever you're coming from, but it's down
right sticky for here!

Remember, gang - humidity readings are *relative* to the ambient
temperature. Only dew point measures how much moisture there is in the air.

This afternoon in Pittsfield, MA it was 63 degrees and a 61 degree dewpoint
for a relative humidity of 93%. At noon here in Tucson it was 98 degrees and
a 58 degree dewpoint, for a relative humidity of 26%.

Which do you prefer?
