List ways of controlling humidity in the home. Humidity refers to the amount of moisture in the air. Warm air is capable of holding much more moisture than cool air. Relative humidity refers to the amount of moisture air holds in relation to the amount it could possibly hold at a given temperature. When the air reaches dew point, it is said to be saturated.
Condensation shows up as small droplets of water.
It forms on surfaces in the home that are cooler than air temperature. An outside example is dew on the grass in the morning. As air is heated, it expands and has the ability to hold more moisture. Moisture available from high rainfall and abundant natural water sources provide water vapor. This mixture of heat and moisture results in an uncomfortably high humidity level for much of the year.
