While humidity itself is a climate variable, it also affects other climate variables. Environmental humidity is affected by winds and by rainfall.

The most humid cities on Earth are generally located closer to the equator, near coastal regions. Cities in parts of Asia and Oceania are among the most humid. [[Bangkok]], [[Ho Chi Minh City]], [[Kuala Lumpur]], [[Hong Kong]], [[Metro Manila|Manila]], [[Jakarta]], [[Naha]], [[Singapore]], [[Kaohsiung]] and [[Taipei]] have very high humidity most or all year round because of their proximity to water bodies and the equator and often overcast weather. 

Some places experience extreme humidity during their rainy seasons combined with warmth giving the feel of a lukewarm sauna, such as [[Kolkata]], [[Chennai]] and [[Kochi]] in India, and [[Lahore]] in Pakistan. [[Sukkur]] city located on the [[Indus River]] in Pakistan has some of the highest and most uncomfortable [[dew point]]s in the country, frequently exceeding {{convert|30|C|F|}} in the [[monsoon]] season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/OPSK/2013/7/6/DailyHistory.html|title=Weather History for Sukkur, Pakistan – Weather Underground|access-date=2013-07-31|archive-date=2017-09-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170915114104/https://www.wunderground.com/history/airport/OPSK/2013/7/6/DailyHistory.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

High temperatures combine with the high dew point to create heat index in excess of {{convert|65|C|F|}}. [[Darwin, Australia|Darwin]] experiences an extremely humid wet season from December to April. [[Houston]], [[Miami]], [[San Diego]], [[Osaka]], [[Shanghai]], [[Shenzhen]] and [[Tokyo]] also have an extreme humid period in their summer months. During the South-west and North-east Monsoon seasons (respectively, late May to September and November to March), expect heavy rains and a relatively high humidity post-rainfall. 

Outside the monsoon seasons, humidity is high (in comparison to countries further from the Equator), but completely sunny days abound. In cooler places such as Northern Tasmania, Australia, high humidity is experienced all year due to the ocean between mainland Australia and Tasmania. In the summer the hot dry air is absorbed by this ocean and the temperature rarely climbs above {{convert|35|C|0|abbr=on}}.
