Can the Arrival of the Monsoon Affect Your Homes Energy Efficiency?
The answer to the question is yes. The reasoning behind that answer takes some explaining.
 Monsoon Arrival
When the water content of the air increases by the arrival of the monsoon it brings vast quantities of moisture and an increase in the relative humidity. Our bodies are most comfortable in an environment where the relative humidity is 50% plus or minus 10%. In Tucson, AZ when the rains arrive, the relative humidity can climb above 60% making us feel clammy and hotter than the most comfortable level of 50% humidity. So, what happens to our bodies to make them feel hotter? One would think, with more moisture in the air our bodies would fell cooler, but that's not the case.

 Our Body's Cooling System
 Our bodies have a wonderful cooling system called "perspiration" which maintains our level of comfort with evaporative cooling that  moves  moisture thru the skin. Normally this transpiration of water as it leaves the skin to the drier air removes heat from our bodies thereby making the body cooler. As humidity levels increase above our comfort level of 50%, evaporation from the skin is reduced. Lower evaporation rates deprive your body of its normal cooling mechanism and you feel ... more
