# humid

adjective (humid, more humid, most humid); noun (humidity, uncountable)

«humid» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. Humid weather is warm and damp because there is a lot of water vapour in the air, so you feel hot and sticky. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/H/humid/#m1)
2. A humid place, like a rainforest or a bathroom after a shower, has damp air. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/H/humid/#m2)

### In the lessons

In geography and science lessons, rainforests have a hot, humid climate; humidity is measured with a hygrometer and given as a percentage. In everyday life: on humid days sweat does not dry, so you feel hotter; bread goes mouldy faster. Weather forecasts give humidity. Phrases: «hot and humid», «humid climate», «high humidity», «humid summer».
