Sheet feeding apparatus and image forming apparatus

A sheet feeding apparatus comprising:

• a sheet support portion configured to support a sheet;
• a sheet feeding unit configured to perform a sheet feeding operation to feed the sheet supported on the sheet support portion;
• an air blowing unit configured to perform an air blowing operation to blow air to a side end of the sheet supported on the sheet support portion;
• a detect sensor configured to detect temperature and humidity around the sheet support portion, and
• a control unit configured to perform sheet feeding control to perform the sheet feeding operation of feeding a predetermined number of the sheets, in a state where the air blowing operation is stopped, after the air blowing operation is performed and then the air blowing operation is stopped,
• wherein, in the state where the air blowing operation is stopped in the sheet feeding control, the control unit performs the sheet feeding operation in which the predetermined number of sheets is determined based on a detection result of the detection sensor and then the predetermined number of sheets are fed.
