You’ve heard about dry air. You’ve always assumed that dry air belongs in hot deserts or in vast tundras. But did you know that cold air is drier than warm air? That means, each winter your air is drier than it was during the summer. This is because water vapor, which is suspended inside the air, is more likely to condensate and become water droplets in cooler climates, leaving your air with lower relative humidity.
Air surrounds literally everything (unless you are in outer space!) and dry air will steadily affect everything it contacts. Here’s the ultimate guide of what can happen in dry winter air.
