Product| The mean relative humidity exceeds 50% throughout the
year at most Tasmanian stations, the exceptions being inland
stations in summer. Relative humidity is generally higher in the
morning than the afternoon, and higher in coastal areas than
inland. Days of high temperature combined with uncomfortably
high humidity are rare, and usually associated with a north-
easterly airstream. In the east, south-east and the Fingal
Valley, warm dry winds from a west or north-west direction may
occasionally have a relative humidity as low as 10%. This is a
result of air descending from just above mountainous terrain
into lowlands. This page last updated 21 November 2006 Unless
