It's 90 degrees outside and they turned the heat on. They said if you raise the air temperature, you'll lower the humidity. No, you'll lower the relative humidity but the absolute humidity will remain the same. Absolute humidity is the physical amount of water vapor in the air regardless of temperature. If there's a given volume of water vapor in the air at 70 degrees, there will be the same amount of water vapor in that same air at 90 degrees. Relative humidity is the percentage of how saturated the air is at a given temperature. At a given temperature the humidity might be 50%. That means the air is 50% saturated with water vapor. If you raise the temperature of the air, it allows it to hold more water vapor. So now the air might only be 40% saturated. Lowering the temperature does the opposite. The actual amount of water vapor stays the same unless the temperature reaches the dew point and some of the water vapor condenses.

Hi! You GOTTA to be a TROLL because NO ONE, even at Kroger, is THAT STUPID to turn the heat on when it is 90 degrees outside. (Unless they have some kind of health problem that is making them feel extremely cold.)
(Just on the chance that "they" ( a manager?) really believes that about humidity, please suggest they take a crash course in meteorology, relative humidity in particular). They could even do it online with a quick search of Wikipedia.

Nope, not a troll. I'm the same person who made the reply about the CAP sheets.

Wow , just wow. Was this one specific manager who wanted the heat on??? Unbelievable.
