Our results extend these findings by demonstrating that areas with the most significant change in fire weather season length occur where not only temperature but also changes in humidity, length of rain - free intervals and wind speeds are most pronounced.

Second, we examined the change in frequency of occurrence of unusually hot, dry or windy conditions by comparing the number of years that maximum temperature, rain - free days or wind speed was > 1 s.d. above the mean or when minimum relative humidity was < 1 s.d. from the mean in 1996 — 2013, as compared with the number of similar events observed in 1979 — 1996.

At the same time, low - humidity heat waves associated with droughts and fueled in part by climate change contribute to the dry conditions that are driving wild fires.3 4

Overnight lows are a dramatic change in early summer but with increasing humidity by late July, things moderate to just plain hot all the time.

By its nature, paper is fragile, and up until fairly recently this was a factor that made some collectors nervous — particularly those who lived in countries with high humidity or prone to extreme changes in temperature, which could impact the material in drawings.

In models it varies by a couple of percent over temperature changes that lead to specific humidity (the total amount of water) changing by much larger amounts.

-LSB-...] Moreover, this study highlights that modern glacier retreat on Kilimanjaro is much more complex than simply attributable to «global warming only», a finding that conforms with the general character of glacier retreat in the global tropics [Kaser, 1999]: a process driven by a complex combination of changes in several different climatic parameters [e.g., Kruss, 1983; Kruss and Hastenrath, 1987; Hastenrath and Kruss, 1992; Kaser and Georges, 1997; Wagnon et al., 2001; Kaser and Osmaston, 2002; Francou et al., 2003; Mölg et al., 2003], with humidity - related variables dominating this combination.

AIR MASSES A large body of air (thousands of miles) Changes in weather are caused by movements of air masses As an air mass moves away, temp & humidity.

In the absence of concerted efforts to reduce the threats posed by heat waves, increased humidity, degraded air quality and degraded water quality, climate change will increase the health risks associated with these phenomena.

The rains, at least meteorologically speaking, were not unexpected; the combination of slow - moving, low - pressure tropical air mass fed by high sea surface temperatures, and record humidity — in addition to the unpredictability of climate change — make catastrophic floods more likely.

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6

A slight change of ocean temperature (after a delay caused by the high specific heat of water, the annual mixing of thermocline waters with deeper waters in storms) ensures that rising CO2 reduces infrared absorbing H2O vapour while slightly increasing cloud cover (thus Earth's albedo), as evidenced by the fact that the NOAA data from 1948 - 2008 shows a fall in global humidity (not the positive feedback rise presumed by NASA's models!)

Changes in temperature, humidity and UV radiation intensity brought about by climate change could affect ozone significantly.

The lapse rate, strictly speaking, applies to elevation above ground level (which is strongly affected by local atmospheric conditions such as absolute humidity and the rate of change of the absolute humidity in space and time) and this should be considered when making certain kinds of comparisons.

In the real world one can influence the rate of evaporation either by reducing pressure or by increasing the energy content of the water (amongst other ways such as increased air movement and humidity changes).

This is buried in the noise of wind induced fluctuations in evaporation and changes in LWIR flux caused by variations in aerosols, clouds and near surface humidity.

Temperature changes induced by sun and oceans drive air circulation changes which drive changes in every aspect of climate including convection, conduction, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, windiness, cloudiness, albedo and humidity as regards both quantities and distribution.

Anyway, our paper concluded by suggesting that, in view of the extreme significance of upper - level humidity to the climate change story, the international radiosonde data on upper - level humidity should not be «written off» without a serious attempt at abstracting the best possible humidity signal from within the noise of instrumental and operational changes at each of the relevant radiosonde stations.
