Image forming apparatus that executes a mode for driving each of conveyance member and developer carrying member without executing image forming operation

An image forming apparatus to execute an image forming operation for forming an image includes an image bearing member, a development unit, a drive unit, a controller, and a humidity detection unit to detect humidity near the development unit. The development unit contains developer and includes a conveyance member to convey the developer and a developer carrying member to carry the developer to a position where an electrostatic latent image formed on the image bearing member is developed. The controller controls the conveyance and the developer carrying member through the drive unit not to execute a mode for driving the conveyance and the developer carrying member without executing the image forming operation when the humidity detected when power of the image forming apparatus is shifted from off to on is higher than a predetermined value, and to execute the mode when the detected humidity falls below the predetermined value afterward.
