What is meant by humid specific heat?
Humidity is how much water content is in the air aroundus.I think humid specific means " as we perceive or feel it " This is why you feel hot on a humid day at 80 degree with 90 percent humidity than lets say a day that's 100 degrees with 25 percent humidity (one hundred percent humidity equals Rain) With high humidity we cannot cool off by perspiration,making us Feel warmer than it might actually be.And the reverse can of course be said the less humidity the better we can handle a very high temperature day.
Why is it difficult to feel cooler on hot humid days than it is on hot dry days?
Its called humidity
Is humidity a percentage?
Yes, humidity is expressed as a percentage. When the dewpoint and the humidity are nearly the exactly the same or exactly the same as the air temperature, you'll have fog. The higher the dewpoint, the more humid it will feel.
What is the difference between hot humid and cold humid air?
If it is hot humid air, the air will be filled with a lot of moisture, and your hands feel all sticky and when you breathe, the air feels thick. But when it's cold humid air, the air has less moisture and it may feel easier to breath in. But it still has the same humidity as the hot air, you just feel it different. This is because when you say the air is humid, you are basically saying that the air has moisture in it. But the air always has moisture in it, but you can feel it when there is high humidity. So when it is cold air, you feel the humidity less. Because if it is hot air, that means the sun must be out, and when the sun is out, it evaporates the sweat and moisture off your skin and goes into the air. That is why in a crowded room, we describe the air as 'stuffy' because it is filled with the body heat from all the people in the room. I hope I answered your question properly. :)

Why humidity is unbearable after rain?
When it's humid it makes it feel hot and sweat doesn't evaporate as fast as it does when it's less humid so you end up feeling sticky. 　 Usually if the rain cools it down enough the extra humidity isn't noticeable but if it doesn't cool everything off then all it does is make everything humid, on top of the heat that it failed to get rid of, which is just unconformable. Depends on the type of rain of course.
Why does it feel more humid during the summer than during the winter?
The cold in winter causes the humidity to drop by condensing it out. The heat in summer can cause the humidity to rise by evaporating more water from nearby bodies of water.
What percentage of humidity is considered low?
Around 20% is considered low. 30% to 40%, whilst on the dry side, are tolerable. 50% is comfortable, though that percentage can feel quite humid when the temps are high.
What is the least humid time of day?
No such thing really. The most comfortable time is typically after sunrise when it's the coolest. The least humid depends what you mean by humid - if you mean relative humidity, then the least humid time is technically the hottest time (but it won't feel very comfortable). But the absolute amount of moisture in the air does not experience diurnal fluctuations. It only changes as the air that is moving in changes.
Is humidity damp?
Humidity is water in the air. It makes it feel warmer than what the real temperature is. But no, you cannot feel humidity therefor you cannot feel its dampness
