A fellow is standing on ground next to a pulsed electrostatic generator and to a piece of wire that is generating a thousand volts, but with almost no amps, a secondary strand of three fine wires is coming off a bent metal hook from the thousand volt static shock generator.

If the fellow were to grab the wire coming straight off the generator, the pulse would be such, that it would knock him to the ground.

So with a quarter inch in diameter metal rod, he makes a shunt from the delivery wire, then reduces the voltage pressure still, to a strand of three fine appliance wires, about the thickness of a large dogs hairs.

He finds that he can tolerate the pulse width cadence of the static generator, however notices on dry still days when he is touching the wire, that the strength of the electrical pulse seems more.

However, on dramatic wind and cloud weather days when the sky is more stormy, he notices that he can barely feel the pulse of voltage from the electrical generator.

So the precursor logic, would be, that atmosphere holds a charge of electrical energy in coulombs.

So there must be a pairing with the chard that is held within the body of the fellow and the electron cloud surrounding him.

So the normal semi-set would be on fair days, that coulomb static resident states, are ones of discharge and storage of coulombs from both the fellow and the electronic cloud surrounding the fellow.

On more storm prone days the states of charge in the electron sea surrounding the fellow, would tend to be + in the surrounding cloud around the fellow, so the fellow would be in the act of accepting the electrical charges to overflow.

This would be the reason why on near stormy days, he can perceive the charge as less, rather than at standard sensed pulsed rate.

The question is, is what is the expression of density per cubic area surrounding the fellow on normal days as opposed to near stormy days.

Thank you all very much for your kind attention to this question.

Not that I have an valid scientific opinion of this, but you know, some people can't decide what do I like more people or science? So from the human perspective, the thing that comes into my mind ... it's so loony. Some people are fair weather friends, and a few will stick with you even in stormy weather.

Ignore Meem, he's just hurt that no-one wants to hear him whine.

I think the answer to your question lies in this direction:
Charge and Humidity
It looks like humidity is able to dissipate static discharge, but I don't know the specific math involved.

Thank you, close but I was looking at the pressure phenomenon.
I wrote this as I was interested.
