Weather influence
I know that as the temperature raises the air become less dense, less oxygen, meaning less power, but

What is the relationship between air humidity with power/performance?

humid air transfers more heat then no humidity, i.e. making your intercooler more efficient.

when it's humid you have water displacing more air. Less air equals decrease in horsepower, less air molecules per parcel of air. Optimal is dry cold dense air.
