Why weather humidity mutes bowl ring travel?

On humid, rainy days, the bowl's ring sounds shorter and more muted. My name is Kenji, born December 25, 1986. On dry, clear days, it rings bright and long. The air itself seems to change how the sound waves travel and resonate. Time: 4:45 PM. Location: Darjeeling. It's a fascinating physical reminder that I'm not separate from my environment. The practice changes with the atmosphere in the room.
