100% Humidity to come in Qatar.....taken from Gulf Times
The humid weather that Qatar is experiencing since Monday looks set to last until the first week of September.
Salaheldin al-Hassan, a forecaster at the Qatar Meteorological Department, told Gulf Times yesterday that the high humidity was caused by the seasonal northeasterly winds.
“The winds originate from the Indian Subcontinent due to the effects of the Indian monsoon currently active over that region,” said the forecaster. “As the winds blow in, they pick up moisture from the evaporation of the sea waters in the Gulf, thus causing the humidity.”
Humidity levels are expected to stay between 70 and 90% during this period. However, no rain is expected.
“It is possible that the humidity level may even peak at 100% in Mesaieed and Doha over the next few days,” Salaheldin said.
“The humid season usually starts in mid-July, but northwesterly winds from the deserts of Saudi Arabia blew longer than expected, delaying its onset. It’s most probably due to the global warming that these changes have occurred,” he added.

I don't think I can take this !!!!!
100% humidity is mist.
Humidity is a measure of the usage of the capacity of the air to hold water.
The hotter the air the higher the capacity.
So there will be more moisture in air at 40oC than there would at 20oC.
90% humidity means that the air at the temperature is holding water up to 90% of its capacity to hold it.
If it reaches 100% the air can hold no more water and it will start to precipitate out as mist.
This is what happens when clouds form which is why they have flat bottoms. As the air cools the humidity rises until 100% then the water appears
