So you have absolute humidity and relative humidity. Let me explain.

At any temperature air can only hold on to so much water (the excess amount condensates into water). This is the maximum absolute humidity, which you use to calculate relative humidity (in %). And the higher the temperature is, the lower the maximum humidity goes, while the relative one is between 0 and 100% and the absolute value is between 0 and maximum for said temperature.

So for higher temperatures air can get almost wet because it holds a lot of water (that's what you mentioned). At lower temperatures the air is quite dry and you can't feel it like usual, but it plays role in how cold you feel.

I'm not sure what contributes to high humidity at low temperatures but I'm pretty sure salt that is used here to melt ice on the roads increases it quite a bit.

Hope this makes sense.

Good evening.

19:26, Friday. It is ungodly cold here in Moscow. I don't mean the temperature itself, -15C is quite bearable, but 80% humidity and wind turns even short walks into a torturous experience.

And because I'm a nerd, here is an explanation: heat capacity of humid air is higher than it is of a dry air, so it draws more heat from your clothes.

LMAO. I first didn't get it but then read your bio...
On a serious note though, the idea is to not overload your senses in moments of piece and `quiet`, sorry for pun. Not sure what the equivalent for you would be, to be honest.

Good morning.
It's 9:15 am, Friday. Tried coffee with sugar, turns out I don't like it. Brewed a moka pot instead of ruined cup.
I noticed an interesting tendency: I get way more creative ideas when I don't listen to music. While I can't work without some beats in the background, walking with my earphones in for some reason stops my brain from having new ideas. So to all genz-ers who plugs their ears 25/8: try not to for a while, see what happens. It wont hurt, I promise. At least not too much.

Good morning.
It's 8:45 am and I am writing again. For a long time I was unable to stick with my writing habit for some reason. Doing it was a chore, even though I tried all the usual techniques for habit building.
What worked for me is substituting "morning pages" with "coffee notes". I simply start with the same thing every day: what am I drinking at the moment. It is always coffee, but since I use diffirent beans and spices for cezve and sometimes other brew methods, there is a lot to write about. At least enough to get me started.
