Specific humidity is at a maximum in the Tropics and declines as one moves poleward reaching minimum values in each polar region. This implies that the air in the most "arid" desert regions of the planet (30 degrees N or S latitude) actually contains more water vapor than temperate regions much farther north, and certainly more than the polar regions
