DAMP vs. HUMID: meaning and examples
Good morning,
Summer is now officially here and with it comes hot weather. I don't mind the heat, but I don't like the high humidity very much. Today we're going to talk about two words to describe high humidity when referring to the weather.
Today's words are: DAMP vs. HUMID
Meaning of DAMP: To refer to a high level of humidity when the weather is cool.
Meaning of HUMID: To refer to a high level of humidity when the weather is hot.
Example 1:
The climate in Vancouver is cool and damp during the winter, but it doesn't snow much. It's more likely to rain.
Example 2:
My husband hates the hot, humid summers in Barcelona, so we try to go to the mountains in August, where it is cooler and dryer.
By the way, another word for 'humid' is MUGGY and it refers to unpleasantly hot humid weather.
Example 3:
This muggy weather is making my hair go all frizzy. It's horrible!
Have a good day and stay cool!
