TAMPA, Fla., April 25, 2018 (Newswire.com) - The saying, “April Showers Bring May Flowers” refers to the fact that traditionally the month of April is a rainy month which contributes to flowers blooming in the month of May. With all the rain, however, comes other things besides just blooms, like humidity. Humidity is a commonly used word, but the actual meaning is often misunderstood.
What is Humidity?
For most people, a relative humidity of 45 to 55% is comfortable. Humid air helps mold and mildew to grow, whereas drier air does not. That is why it is important to use a dehumidifier throughout your home to control excess moisture.

For many people, when they hear the word “humidity,” synonyms come to mind including mugginess, stuffiness, clamminess, but the “state of being humid” actually refers to a quantity representing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or a gas.
Additionally, there are two different types of humidity absolute humidity and relative humidity. Absolute humidity is the amount of water vapor divided by the amount of dry air in a certain volume of air at a particular temperature. Relative humidity is the ratio of the current absolute humidity to the highest possible absolute humidity, which will depend upon the current air temperature. Interested in knowing what the relative humidity is in your home? You can find the answer to this question easily by using a handy hygrometer, which can test the relative humidity levels of any space at a glance.
