Increases it.
Explanation:
The drier the air the more readily it accepts water vapor. Once it starts evaporating the dry air starts becoming more humid. When you have a dry wind then that air is taken away and drier air replaces it, and drier air (as I said earlier) more readily accepts water vapor.
When you have clear skies you have the full effect of the sun working on water and ice, which increases the rate of evaporation. If you had cloudy skies the sun wouldn't be as direct. Additionally, if you have cloudy skies then the air is not as dry as it could be (the levels where there is cloud have 100% humidity and cannot accept any more vapor). As I said before, the drier the air the more readily it accepts water vapor.
