4. Weather

Weather conditions such as low humidity and high winds can cause abnormal dryness in the mouth. In drier weather, individuals may begin breathing through their mouths more often, which causes the mucous membranes to dry up.

Moisture from the body evaporates more quickly, which causes further dehydration across the whole body. Indoor temperatures such as a continually running furnace or air conditioning can have the same effect.
