Low humidity, especially when accompanied by high temperatures, presents a huge challenge to making bubbles. Under such conditions, it can even be a challenge to make small bubbles with dime store wands and larger bubbles might seem impossible. Some general information about conditions is found in Ideal Conditions. The problem is exacerbated by heat. High temperatures even with good humidity are a challenge for most bubble solutions. As temperatures rise above about 78F or 25C, it becomes much more difficult to make lasting bubbles with most solutions.

abstract	Low humidity, especially when accompanied by high temperatures, presents a huge challenge to making bubbles. Under such conditions, it can even be a challenge to make small bubbles with dime store wands and larger bubbles might seem impossible. Some general information about conditions is found in Ideal Conditions. As of this writing (May 2013), there is still a great deal of experimentation being done by people to find solutions that work well in low humidity. Even at 30%-40% humidity, it may be impossible to create truly giant bubbles. And, generally, the bubble lifetime is dramatically shorter than when humidity is higher than that. The problem is exacerbated by heat. High temperatures even with good humidity are a challenge for most bubble solutions. As temperatures rise above about 78F or 25C, it becomes much more difficult to make lasting bubbles with most solutions. There have been reports on SBF, the Soap Bubble Fanciers Yahoo Group that Sodium Alginate-based solutions can improve behavior under these conditions; however, the results that were reported have so far not been replicated. It merits further investigation. See Sodium Alginate on the Ingredients page. A search of SBF, the Soap Bubble Fanciers Yahoo Group may be worthwhile in case there is new information there. Gelatin is another ingredient reported to be a worthwhile addition as suggested here. Some preliminary tests indicated that gelatin may help longevity with some mixes. Further exploration is merited. Please help! If you come upon ingredients or techniques or recipes that improve behavior under low humidity, PLEASE REPORT THEM -- either by adding to this article or by adding a comment.
