Lower RH with lower temp?

[G G]

Once again I can't explain why (Scott Shilala can) but when the power goes out at my place and the vino resets to the lowest temp the colder it is in the vino the lower the RH is. Conversly the higher the temp the higher the RH. Relative Humidity is relative to the temp I think.

That's my understanding too. I'm also under the impression that RH is harder to maintain at lower temps.

You have more than enough beads. If possible, I'd suggest raising your temp by 2 or 3 degrees and see how that works. If you can't, try a Johnson controller like this. Not sure about the site, but I've read that people have used this successfully to increase their fridge temps, which will help get a handle on RH.

It may be that the cooling surface is condensing some moisture out of the air, which would reduce the humidity. Does the cooling surface get damp?
