I have a question for Mr. Saller: according to my little home weather station, the humidity here in Spotsylvania has hovered between 93% and 98% for many weeks, even when it's not raining and as the temperature has gone up and down. If my little station is correct, what is causing this horrendously high humidity and will it go away? If it will, when do you think it might go?
