Air humidity is the amount of water it contains. This indicator can be calculated for both outdoors and indoors.
The optimal air humidity is 50%, and a strong deviation in either direction affects well-being.
Low air humidity has a negative effect on the skin – it becomes drier.
But high humidity also has a negative impact on your well-being.
Why high humidity is dangerous
High humidity increases the loss of heat from the human body, which leads to deterioration in health, weakness, and so on.
A large amount of moisture can increase the exacerbation of cardiovascular diseases, and mold and mildew may begin to appear in the room.
High humidity can be observed even in winter if wet snow falls outside and the air does not have time to dry out due to frost.
Therefore, to reduce heat loss, you need to dress appropriately and cover all parts of the body, limiting long walks.
