Global humidity is rising. Kinda sucks looking for data on it because it just shows an average and because it’s an average it only moves a few points. I’d be really interested in seeing what’s happening in populated areas. It’s completely anecdotal, but I really feel that humidity has shot up a lot when I’m outdoors. Unless you’re in a arid area, it’s feels so much steamier and harder to cool off.
