Remarkable again today was the very low RH of 13% at 16:46z and the
dew point of -4.9°C at 16:45z.

I've being suffering today from the low humidity, though not in
the way most people might imagine. I've being applying paint
coatings that dry by reaction with atmospheric moisture,
and Col starts to worry that he's messed up big time with
his paint tmanufacturing as the coatings refuse to dry.
Eventually Col decides to check the relative humidity pretty
much as a last resort as it doesn't 'feel' dry, but then I've been
sweating and running around like a blue-aresed fly trying to find
out what's wrong!

Col checks out RH - around 30%.
Col is gobsmacked and rather relieved that he can blame climatic
conditions for the poor drying and lives to manufacture paint another day.....
