Default Rain Static ?

From my perpective it does seem to track humidity or rather the lack of
humidity. IS this not correct?


Of course that's correct. Take a look at table 2 in
the following ESDA web page where there is up to a
60 to one difference in static levels between 25% max
RH and 65% min RH: They also say, "Virtually all
materials, including water and dirt particles in the
air, can be triboelectrically charged."
