According to relevant research, the average humidity in Chengdu is around 70% or very humid, so people in Chengdu like spicy food very much. Because the climate is very cold when it rains and the air humidity is very high, the humidity in Chengdu is very high. At this time, eating more spicy food can keep sweating and achieve the effect of expelling cold and dampness. Many people say that the south eats spicy food because the climate in the south is humid and the living conditions in ancient times are not as good as now. People always suffer from rheumatism. In the absence of other treatments, they found that eating spicy food can drive away cold and keep warm, and can also treat rheumatism. This habit has slowly continued to this day.
However, although it always rains in Chengdu, the climate is humid and will not affect normal life. If you live in a high-rise building, you can't actually feel the heavy humidity. Only people on the first and second floors may always get moldy in spring, because of the humidity at home, wood and other things that are easy to get moldy. So if you want to live in Chengdu for a long time, you'd better buy some houses with higher floors and prepare more things to remove moisture. But in summer or winter, when the humidity is high, it is not very high. Only when there is a lot of rain in spring and autumn can things get moldy easily.
Sometimes when the wind is strong in winter, not only do you feel heavy moisture, but you also feel that your skin is particularly dry and even chapped and peeled. Therefore, Chengdu is actually not as humid as everyone thinks. After all, living conditions are getting better and better now, and there are always countermeasures.
