Question: Is possible to include at least an approximation of the expected humidity in a forecast?

Answer: We'll give that some thought. However, we much prefer dew point and heat index as humidity and discomfort indicators, because of the limitations of relative humidity. For example, a comfortable day with a high temperature of 80 and a dew point of 55 might be followed by a "sweltering" day with a high of 97 and a dew point of 70, but the relative humidity would be 42% in both cases.
