umidità

humidity, moisture

noun oo-mee-dee-TAH Rare

Usage Note

Umidità is an invariable noun (the written accent signals final stress and an invariable plural — le umidità is grammatically possible but rarely used, the word being treated as uncountable). It covers both atmospheric humidity and physical dampness in walls or objects. Distinguish from bagnato (wet) which is adjectival.

Examples

"L'umidità estiva è insopportabile in questa città."

Natural Translation

Summer humidity is unbearable in this city.
