Humidity, dampness
Hi,
“Humidity causes my hair to curl.”
“Dampness (damp air) causes my hair to curl.”
Humidity’s associated with hot weather. When it happens in autumn, should it be ‘dampness’ rather than ‘humidity’?
Thank you.

You are probably right in common usage, now that you mention it, but humidity is humidity no matter what the temperature.

This doesn't strike me as very idiomatic for the given context. I'd stick with "humidity" regardless of the season.
