Question

How does the amount of humidity affect hurricane formation?

Answer 1

The more humidity at the start of the forming stage, will create a bigger hurricane

Answer 2

Humidity is the amount of water in the air.

A Hurricane needs humidity to develop. A hurricane starts off as a series of thunderstorms which intensify as it moves over the (warm) humid sea. The humidity is at a constant level and therefore continues to grow over the sea. Any sort of decrease or increase in humidity can change the strength of a hurricane. Too much or too little humidity and there will be no hurricane because the air become too saturated or too dry respectivley to form.
