Sometimes with more humidity (uggggh), sometimes drier for our area.
30%-35% Humidity in the Summer in NYC area IS dry!

However 30% in the high desert of AZ is humid-ish, or humid.
I know- I was visiting when a local commented on the 30% humidity at the store we stopped in
.
Me and my NYC'r friend who'd stopped in for water, fresh peaches, other stuff felt wonderful!
