what is the difference between humidity and precipitation.
Humidity
It is defined as amount of water vapour in air. The effect of high humidity indicates the likelihood if fog or precipitation. Also, if the humidity is high, we sweat more but our sweat is not evaporated much. As a result we feel hot. This is commonly seen in coastal areas like Mumbai, Kolkata etc.
