Humidity and flour
Does ambient humidity have allot of effect on flour? I am asking because I am noticing inconsistency in the flour I use from the same batch. Sometimes I mix it with a fixed amount of water and get a good consistency and other times I get a sticky consistency. Since the flour is from the same batch and the water is weighted using the same scale, I can't think of anything changing except humidity. Can that be the reason I am experiencing this difference?

I have read that humidity can cause exactly that issue. I have not actually noticed that, but I home mill most of my flour and store it in a freezer, so it is possible the humidity is always the same.
