Re: Humidity!
The 3 weather features that effect performance are temperture,humidity,and barometric pressure. Baro effects performance the most followed by temperture, and humidity has the least effect of the 3. I have noted this for years but it was recently confirmed in an article by Warren Johnson(NHRA prostock star) in National Dragster. Frank95z

Re: Humidity!
Humidity is water vapor in the air which takes up space, so the higher the humidity the less fuel and air you have to use for power. Similarly, the colder the air temp, the more dense that air will be so you can add more fuel, same thing with barometric pressure, the higher the pressure the better, that is all a supercharger or turbo does, increase the density and pressure of the air. As for specific numbers, just try and hope for cold days with little humidity and high pressure. Sorry if this is a review, but hope it will help
