The climate here in the east is opposite of yours - our winter/spring is the "dry season" (not counting any snowfall). So in early-mid spring, we often go through a brief period of very low humidity, moderate winds, low rainfall, and what the NWS indicates as "drying of fine fuels" (this is usually before the deciduous trees leaf out), triggering Red Flag warnings for conditions that may trigger or fan brush fires. But as soon as summer kicks in, so does the humidity, and that's the end of that! We also often go into a "dry period" during the late summer/early fall with a big reduction of rainfall... but that often gets alleviated by remnants from tropical storms.
