high humidity
Air holding moisture
High humidity describes air saturated with a large amount of water vapor.
Weather reports use the term for conditions that feel muggy or oppressive: The high humidity made the heat unbearable.
High humidity slows evaporation, which is why sweat doesn't cool you as effectively and why laundry takes longer to dry.
