Default Humidity and aching joints

My wife is concerned about humidity. I did a quick check of humidity today (Wednesday November 14 at 2 PM eastern) at four locations:

Columbus, OH: 61%
Destin, FL: 62%
Brevard, NC: 51%
Ocala (The Villages): 50% (not too shabby!)

I don't know if today's humidity is unique in the Villages for this time of year. I suspect humidity is a bit higher along the coasts, as in Destin and is a bit less in central Florida than in areas within a few miles of the coast where many retirees like to settle. Do you agree?

Question: What is your experience/understanding of the relationship of humidity to joint pain? Whats more of a factor: humidity or temperature?
