dry air
Low humidity condition
Dry air is air with low humidity—little water vapor relative to what it could hold at that temperature.
The term appears in weather reports, climate discussions, and technical contexts like HVAC systems.
Dry air can cause discomfort: chapped lips, static electricity, irritated sinuses.
The dry air made my skin crack.
In chemistry and engineering, dry air specifically means air with all moisture removed.
