moisture

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'humidity' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both states of affairs as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'weird euro-mist' is the wordplay.
'weird' is an anagram indicator.
'euro'+'mist'='euromist'
'euromist' anagrammed gives 'MOISTURE'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for moisture that I've seen before include "Small amount of liquid causing dampness" , "Liquid, in drops perhaps" , "Liquid in vapour or spray form" , "Diffused liquid such as vapour or condensation" , "Liquid in small quantity, in the air say" .)
