• Humidity refers to the amount of moisture (water
vapor) in the surrounding air.
• Relative Humidity is a measure of the amount of
moisture in the air compared with the amount of
moisture the air can hold.
• Relative humidity is expressed as a percentage of how
much moisture the air could possibly hold at the
temperature it happens when you measure it.
• The "wetter or damper" you feel,, the higher is the
relative humidity. If you feel the air is dry around you,
the relative humidity is low.

Module 3: Weather Elements
• We are very sensitive to humidity. Sweating keeps
our body cool and maintain its current
temperature.
• If the air is at 90% relative humidity, sweat will
not evaporate into the air. As a result, we feel
much hotter than the actual temperature when
the relative humidity is high.
• If the relative humidity is low, we can feel much
cooler than the actual temperature because our
sweat evaporates easily, cooling the body.

How relative humidity (RH) is measured?
• Humidity is measured by means of a
hygrometer.
• There are different types of hygrometers.
• The most common hygrometers are Wet- and
Dry- Bulb Psychrometer and Hair Hygrometer.

How relative humidity (RH) is measured?
Wet- and Dry Bulb Psychrometer
• It consists of two identical mercury
thermometers,
one of which has a wet cotton or linen wick
around
its bulb.
• Evaporating water from the wick absorbs heat
from the thermometer bulb, causing the
thermometer reading to drop.
• The difference between dry-bulb and wet-bulb
temperatures is compared on psychrometric
charts.

How relative humidity (RH) is measured?
Wet- and Dry Bulb Psychrometer Psychrometric
Chart.
If the difference between
wet and dry bulb is 6º F
and the temperature is
72º F (dry bulb), then the
RH is 54%.

How relative humidity (RH) is
measured?
Hair Hygrometer
•Humidity stretches
the hair (human /
animal / synthetic)
while dryness
shortens it.
•The hygrometer
has the job of
stretching a hair
between a fixed
and a movable point
to measure humidity
over time.

Module 3: Weather Elements
How relative humidity (RH) is measured?
• Other kinds of hygrometers use materials
with electrical resistance that varies with
the amount of moisture absorbed.
• With such hygrometers, a measurement
of electrical resistance can be calibrated
as a humidity measurement.
