When the humidity is high in my house, it bothers my sinuses. is humidity bad for allergies?

Not really, high humidity is probably more friendly to upper respiratory airways than dry air.

While excessive dryness in an environment makes one more susceptible to colds which can lead to sinus infections, excessive humidity can promote very heavy mucus formation leading to postnasal drip and nasal congestion.
