In continental interior areas of Canada, winter air is usually cold and dry (contains little moisture vapour). Suppose the outside temperature is -10 °C and the relative humidity is 70%. If this air is then brought into a building and heated to 20 °C, what will the new relative humidity be? What kind of conditions would a person living or working in this building experience?
