Humida

Humida is a term that can refer to moisture-related conditions, deriving from the Latin humidus meaning moist or wet. In meteorology and climatology, related forms describe the amount of water vapor in the air. The word occurs in various Romance-language contexts, where adjectives like humida describe dampness or humidity.

Practically, humidity influences comfort, health, and material conditions. High humidity can reduce evaporative cooling, promote mold growth, and affect crop health; low humidity can cause skin dryness and static electricity. In English, the standard terms are humidity and humid, but texts in other languages may use forms resembling humida when describing moist environments. The concept encompasses measurements such as relative humidity, dew point, and vapor pressure, which together indicate how moist the air is and how it may feel to people and objects within a space.

As a proper noun, Humida may appear as a name for fictional places, brands, or organizations. There is no widely recognized international entity by this name in standard references. In fiction and branding, it may be chosen to evoke moisture, climate, or tropical themes, but such uses are distinct from the scientific concept of humidity.
