Explain why it became 23.4mb
![RELATIVE HUMIDITY IN THE HOME During the winter, the
relative humidity inside a home can drop to an extremely low
value and the inhabitants are usually unaware of it. When cold
polar air is brought indoors and heated, its relative humidity
decreases dramatically. Notice in • Fig 4.20 that when outside air
with a temperature and dew point of – 15°C (5°F) is brought
indoors and heated to 20°C (68°F), the relative humidity of the
heated air drops to 8 percent-a value lower than what you would
normally experience in a desert during the hottest time of the
day.*
