2/3 40 minutes later, i'm at 18%rh …i might've reduced the living room door gap a bit, juggling CO2 ppms versus humidity.
…it's -2°C outside (that's minus 2 science-degrees, below freezing, for all y'alls boulder-units types 
)

Heinrich-Böll-StiftungEin übersehenes Risiko: Hitze gefährdet die psychische Gesundheit | Heinrich-Böll-StiftungHitzewellen setzen nicht nur dem Körper, sondern auch der Psyche zu – von verstärkter Klimaangst bis hin zu erhöhten Suizidraten. Besonders Kinder und Jugendliche sind gefährdet. Warum mentale Gesundheit in Hitzeaktionsplänen eine größere Rolle spielen muss.

Ok well two of these evaporative humidifiers going has helped a good bit!
I’m pumping around 8 gallons (30.3 L) of water into the house air per day. 
Hacker News Investigating the case of human nose shape and climate adaptation

journals.plos.orgInvestigating the case of human nose shape and climate adaptationAuthor summary The study of human adaptation is essential to our understanding of disease etiology. Evolutionary investigations into why certain disease phenotypes such as sickle-cell anemia and lactose intolerance occur at different rates in different populations have led to a better understanding of the genetic and environmental risk factors involved. Similarly, research into the geographical distribution of skin pigmentation continues to yield important clues regarding risk of vitamin D deficiency and skin cancer. Here, we investigate whether variation in the shape of the external nose across populations has been driven by regional differences in climate. We find that variation in both nares width and alar base width appear to have experienced accelerated divergence across human populations. We also find that the geospatial distribution of nares width is correlated with temperature, and absolute humidity, but not with relative humidity. Our results support the claim that local adaptation to climate may have had a role in the evolution of nose shape differences across human populations.
It’s astonishing the amount of water I’m sending into the air to keep the humidity levels even this high.
The heating in this cold weather is vicious to the atmosphere.
The air mass over southern New Mexico right now is very, very dry.
Alamogordo airport is reporting a dewpoint of 0F at 4,200 feet elevation.
Our neighborhood weather station is reporting -21F dewpoint at 9,440ft. (Even if that reading is incorrect by some amount, it's very dry air up here.)

UPDATE 2: just arrived! tysm!!! 
Hey y'all, I am starting to have health issues from the mold that keeps forming in the apartment because of extreme humidity, and I'm worried it will start affecting the baby too. #Seattle #humidity is awful and we really need help getting it under control. Plus @nullagent doesn't want to be cleaning windows with bleach every other day 
January 18th.
When the air #temperature approaches the dew point, the chances of fog are quite high. Additionally, the #humidity begins to condense, which appears as dew drops on various objects – including #spider webs.
AG Umweltphysik Uni Tübingen Our Portable Aircraft Rucksack for Atmospheric Sensing and In-situ Turbulence Estimation (PARASITE) is a meteorological payload we developed for multicopters - here a #dji #Mavic3E. The system measures 
#temperature, 
#humidity and
We applied this system during the @DeutscherWetterdienst #HErZ #VITAL campaign¹ last summer @fzj and are currently improving and validating it further.
Small #UAS (uncrewed aircraft systems) such as #multicopters can bridge the observation gap of high-resolution in-situ measurements in the lower atmosphere (lowest few km).
We'll present more @EuroGeosciences #EGU25 this year.
