The most humid cities on earth are generally located closer to the equator, near coastal regions. Cities in South and Southeast Asia are among the most humid, such as Kolkata and those in Kerala in India, the cities of Manila in the Philippines and Bangkok in Thailand: these places experience extreme humidity during their rainy seasons combined with warmth giving the feel of a lukewarm Sauna.

In terms of relative humidity, the most humid places on Earth are in the Arctic, where low temperatures and open water mean that the relative humidity is near 100% most of the time. In terms of an absolute measure of water vapor content, such as the dewpoint temperature, the humid locations are around the Persian Gulf–places like Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
