Global warming has contributed to many different problematic issues, including widlfires, shifting water runoff, and rising ocean warmth. Now there’s a new finding for yet another effect that is caused by global warming: Increasing Humidity.

Hotter air can hold more water, and by 2100, overall humidity could increase between 12 and 24%. Sure, it’s not deadly (for everyone) but it will definitely be annoying and painful to bear.

Sweat helps us cool off, but only when it can evaporate and leave the skin. When it’s humid, the body has a hard time cooling itself.

Every bit of greenhouse gas contributes to rising temperatures, and for every increase of 1 degree Celsius in the air, 6-7% more moisture can be absorbed. So it’s not only getting hotter, it’s getting wetter.

So when you think of a hotter future, don’t think desert. Think jungle.
