Humidity vs temperature

Humidity vs temperature

Humidity vs temperature

(OP)
First off...back from a bit of..being too busy to read the groups (hate it when that happens), and not sure if this is the right group but im sure I will be pointed off to the correct one if this isnt...but there are a bunch of smart folks here.

Now that winter is over, I was turning off my humidifiers, and ive always been curious on if there is a formula for setting them.  Essentially there is a knob that allows you to change
the percent of humidity based on outdoor temp.  So you guess how warm or cold and move the knob and just assume its doing it but I do have a humidity sensor (from another project) and wondered about the correlation, or lack of, percent to temp.

Anyone run across this before?

In heating climates you use humidifiers to make life comfortable for humans (and ESD-sensitive electronics winky smile ). The upper limit is when water starts running down the glass on your windows.

Depending on your house, there may be no overlap between what humans require and what the windows can handle.

Dust mites are another issue; they like humidity too.

(PS: Not really the right forum.)
