You know it's humid when ...

[Phil Pascoe]

Five internal doors jam, the sugar sets like brick where it's got damp and dried out repeatedly, you change your shirt four times in a day, the salt mill doesn't ... and even the toilet paper is damp to the touch.
I dropped my hygrometer and broke it ... possibly just as well as it might have gone off the clock ... last time I felt damp like this I was in Auckland. I've just googled - it's 93%.

Have you left the shower running again?

There's a rust patch on the machines that you have touched...

you should see how much water is in my de-humidifer from just the last 3 days!

I dissuade my wife from using one - she cannot understand why the doors and windows should be shut ... :?

............ and what a fantastic machine a dehumidifier is. I bought one about a year ago from B&Q and leave it on all the time. Empty it daily, as the garage is still used by SWIMBO and often put in damp or wet, (the car) , but the timber seems to be great now.

When the condensed moisture is constantly running off the bottom of your Iced Gin & tonic and soaking your shirt, recent shades of the southern Caribbean.

Funny to hear Brits talk about humidity (I am a Brit), dad swears its a sauna if it goes above 25 C. Try summer in Savannah or Singapore, even diving in the sea doesn't cool you off.

Once drove from LA to Vegas through Nevada in the summer. Once we got to the strip in town the temperature in the jeep read 52 degrees C. After being installed in the hotel and starting to wander round, we noticed covered air conditioned walkways (like see through bus shelters with moving walkways airport style) connecting adjoining hotels. That's the way to avoid the humidity

I did read somewhere long ago that 25% of American electricity consumption was by air conditioning. The best air con I've ever come across was in Singapore taxis - like walking into a deep freeze.

Coming back into Delhi from Agra, bus running late, so it's midnight, over-head gantry on motorway reads "32 degrees centigrade, 98% humidity"....can anyone imagine what it was like when the sun came up? All I will say was, visiting the squatter camp of the "marginalised community" next day was quite an experience for ALL the senses.
