Default It must be humid...

.... my Kitchen floor is wet!

My house is knocking on 300 years old. It was built long before modern
concepts like insulation. Thus, the kitchen floor, which is tiled, is
most likely laid on a screed over sand. This is a cold floor.
Today, that tiled floor has a thin film of condensation over it.
Slippery, yes - but also great for lying on when you get back from a
steamy 35km bike ride!

I noticed that the wet roads from yesterdays rain haven't been able to
dry under any shady areas.

RAF Marham (8 miles away) is currently reporting a dew point of 18c (dry
bulb of 25c - 65% RH); i would guess my kitchen floor is no more than 15c.
