Yes, absolutely. It can affect comfort in a lot of little ways... sweat, breathing, the way your clothes feel and hang, etc.
I really don't think that's the convention for these regions - I think most places usually mention relative humidity. Dew point tends to be a more useful metric, especially for comfort in the summer.
Humidity plays an important role in human comfort. People feel cooler in drier air because their perspiration can readily evaporate. They feel warmer in air with a higher relative humidity because the evaporation process is slower. The surrounding air has to be able to absorb water or sweat so that evaporation occurs. Evaporation requires that the body produce sweat and that the air is able to absorb it. Relative humidity in excess will make a human feel discomfort because the air will not be able to absorb the perspiration from their body which removes heat.
example of comfort zone?
The noun 'comfort' is a singular, common, abstract noun; a word for a state of physical ease and freedom from pain or constraint, a word for a feeling; a word for a thing.The word 'comfort' is also a verb: comfort, comforts, comforting, comforted.
The comfort index is a creation of the Weather Channel. It provides an approximation of how comfortable you will be outdoors. Factors such as temperature, humidity, cloud cover, wind speed, and the chance of precipitation are used to calculate the comfort index.
Human comfort is defined as the state of mind that expresses satisfaction with the surrounding environment. Factors that determine human comfort include: temperature on the surrounding environment, humidity of the air, air motion etc
For optimal comfort and health, studies show that humidity levels should be in the range of 35% to 50%.One can track her/his home's humidity with a hygrometer, available at hardware and home improvement stores
The evaporator coil condenses the humidity in the air dehumidifying it.
Ideal Humidity. I do not think that there is an ideal humidity. Where I live most people have approximately 40 percent humidity. This must be seasonally adjusted to as low as 20 percent in the winter time otherwise condensation on cold surfaces, such as windows, will occur. Indoor humidity should be reduced or increased relative to the temperature outdoors and personal comfort level indoors

it has been used for mattresses and pillows so it has affected our lives for good comfort
A invisible cotton bra would be the best for comfort and flexibility.
It is an index of thermal comfort & combines effect of temperature,humidity,velocity of air & mean radiant heat.
Comfort today will compromise the environment and therefore your own comfort in the future. It will also adversely affect the comfort of generations to come.

dry bulb temperature simply tells us the temperature of dry air.but the comfort also depends on humidity ie. water vapour presents in the air.Wet bulb temperature measures the humidity in the air.Because the evaporation of water in the bulb wick depends on the relative humidity of surrounding air.
