One can thus see that depending on the relationship of the temperature to humid- ity, there are certain marked ranges that can be defined as comfortable or uncom- fortable climate. One would thus feel that at a temperature of 77 °F (25 ˚C) and a humidity of less than 30% is very dry (for e.g. air from the heaters) and one above 60% as sultry.
