low humidity
Parched atmospheric conditions
Low humidity describes air containing relatively little water vapor.
The phrase appears constantly in weather forecasts and climate discussions: Low humidity makes the heat more bearable.
Indoor low humidity, common in winter when heating systems dry the air, can cause dry skin, static electricity, and respiratory discomfort.
Deserts are defined by persistently low humidity.
