How does humidity work? Right now, where I live it is 73% humity and 75 degrees and it doesn’t feel humid. In Costa Rica, the numbers were similar and it felt like I was in a shower. I know it has to do with humidity, temps, and dewpoint. I just can’t wrap my brain around it.

Humidity measures the amount of water vapor in the air; how humid it feels also depends on temperature and dew point, which is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated with moisture, making higher temperatures feel more humid even with the same humidity percentage.
