Judging by time stamps, it appears the OP for the question What is the definition for a hyper-humid area? created the arid and humid tags. Neither tag has any guidance.

The long extant humidity tag would be more appropriate for the question than a newly created humid tag, I have edited the question to reflect this. Could those with authority to do so, please remove the humid tag as it is a meaningless tag?

Similarly could the arid tag be changed to aridity?

  • $\begingroup$ I'm for removing the humid tag. As for the aridity proposal, I noticed that we have already desert, desertification and drought, aren't those enough to cover the 'aridity' topic? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @Jean-MariePrival: If we can do without an aridity tag I'm okay with that, but what tags would you apply to the question that initiated this issue? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Good remark, I'm not sure... But the question is actually about (hyper) humidity, not aridity, which is just used as an example of index. $\endgroup$

We don't need aridity. An arid area is just an area with low humidity, so humidity is enough.

In geomorphology an arid zone is a field of study with different geomorphology characteristic structures as it can be glacial or periglacial. I agree aridity is not needed, but maybe we need a tag arid-zone or so.
