-- Warm air causes more evaporation; air molecules are more active & can hold more
moisture High air pressure usually means cooler drier weather.
Not exact matches
This gives rise to
moisture flow by
air movement and vapor diffusion from the exterior to the interior cooled area as a result of a
higher outdoor vapor
pressure than indoor vapor
pressure during the cooling periods.
The
high pressure is the descending dry
air and it is adiabatically warmed, and so has an even greater affinity for any remaining
moisture, thus the drought.
