> The problem that high humidity cold causes is increased convection
Can you help me understand? How does higher relative humidity increase convection?

Humid air has higher heat capacity and higher heat conductivity than dry air which both increase convective heat loss.

All of that is true, but how does that relate to convection? That is the part I find puzzling.

I think he was talking about the weather conditions. Cold weather fronts with high humidity means strong winds.
