Right now it is 45F with 1% humidity outside. 74F and 16% indoors among the orchids in my living room.
I have seen as low as 3% since I have lived here but never 1%. This is what we in Colorado are up against growing anything.

Only 30% here..and that's a low reading for this time of night. Must be all that air from Canada.
40%+ and 50F here in Hong Kong. It's almost the lowest of the year, and in spring -summer, the average is 80%. What a difference, Harvey ?

You bet.
I grew up on east coast of the US and it is humid there. Personally, I didn't like living in the high humidity myself but I didn't grow orchids then either. Maybe I would have appreciated the humidity if I had.
Me too didn't like living in the high humidity, especially during spring time you have to switch on the dehumidifer round the clock.
0°F this morning. 55°F & 65% RH in the greenhouse. YAY!! (Except for the heating bill)
quick! put on socks, rub feet on the carpet while holding a balloon, touch sister with balloon. orchids might not like it but it's great for zapping your sister.
More likely I'd zap my computer!

The only thing I feel lucky about living in St.Andrews is the humidity levels,according to BBC the humidity is 81%.
Desert prairie... gotta love it. Had to temporarily reopen the vents on the greenhouse for the days it was 50 degrees or warmer. it was 100+ in the greenhouse. Now it's snowing again and supposed to drop to 12-14 degrees... sigh.
