Vicks Hygrometer and Thermometer 2in1 is a device that measures the ambient temperature and the humidity level of rooms for better indoor comfort. Indeed, keeping the air humidity between 40 and 60% reduces the survival of influenza viruses in the air or on surfaces.
When cold temperatures set in, humidity levels drop. This is because cold air cannot retain moisture as much as warm air. Because of this, when we heat our house, the relative humidity (RH) level can drop to as low as 10%. The air is then drier than that of the Sahara desert; and can therefore cause skin dryness as well as discomfort in the nose and throat.
Keeping the humidity level between 40 and 60% can also relieve your throat and nose, eyes and skin, and improve the well-being of your children.
