The last time I saw humidity readings that low I was standing on the salt of Bonneville. |

I grew up in San Diego, must be Santa Anna winds time. I just looked at weather bug for Lemon Grove and it says RH is 9%. |

Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Weather.com shows 18% in San Diego 3PM but that's coastal and usually a little higher and you can feel that it's very, very dry. Not all that unusual for here but it's lasted for 3 or 4 days which is very strange. I washed down the garage floor and closed the door - got the RH back up to 40%. Might do that first thing every morning till it breaks. |

Yeah Lemon Grove 11% and Vista (where I live) 15% at the time of this post - for real. Guess I don't have to calibrate my hygrometer.

Hit a seasonal low today here as well in the midwest...but nothing like that. My cheap, uncalibrated meter reads about 32% indoors...most of the year im dreaming about some of that dry western air..... |

Pegged it this morning. Never seen it this dry for this long in the 24 years I've lived here. Weather.com says 8%. Maybe some rain this weekend. Guitar wood is moving like a hula girl on 'ludes.

Wow, that is scary dry. I hate dryness like that, it's tough on everything. Here in Bar Harbor Maine it is currently 9deg out and a windchill of -15 to -20. This is during the day. My hygrometer is not working so am not sure what the RH is but it feels dry. Weather.com claims it is 43% but Im not sure I believe it, especially inside with forced hot air. But at that low a temp the air can't hold much water anyway so 43% is low. Tomorrow is a high of 8deg and low of -10 with a windchill still around -20. This weather sux! |

That really is a world away Anthony. 75 degrees here today and most of the last 4 or 5 days. You're right that dry weather effects everything wood - and not in a good way. Our summers are very nice with a dependable 45-50% RH most every day, but winter's RH will range from the insane 8% today to 60's and 70's with rain. Impossible to know when to glue or not glue. I've got a walnut back in the garage that I over thinned and it's potato chipped so bad I didn't think wood could even do that. A friend had a nice Martin I sold him in Tucson and he didn't humidify his guitar room and the guitar was so badly twisted it looked like the Taylor demo where he dries out a guitar on purpose. I'll take some humidity over super-dry any day. |
