California Changes In Humidity And Tangiers

I noticed that the humidity in the past couple weeks has almost a 30 percent change from night to day here in LA and to a lesser extent in San Diego.

How big of a difference does that make in when and how to acclimate especially if I smoke outside?

During the night, the humidity is around 70, while humidity is around 30 to 40 during the day (percentages)

What are your guys' thoughts expiriences with this. Never paid attention to humidity levels before so I don't know how common this is.

I would say acclimate a few hours in during the day or night and smoke during that time. Wait till it smells right then smoke it up as soon as you can.

yea i agree. I smoked lucid bramble the other nite w/o acclimation and the smoke quality was there, the flavor was lacking. I live in the bay area but CA weather is CA weather I'll def need some acclimation if I am to smoke tonite.

Its not relative humidity, its absolute humidity thats important. The relative humidity will often change, while the absolute humidity stays the same. The best, most common measure of absolute humidity is Dewpoint. If the dewpoint remains constant, more or less, the humidity isn't changing.

Thanks Sonthert. I had noticed that there was a difference between relative and absolute humidity but I wasn't sure which one applied. Thanks again.
