Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air. It is an important factor in weather and climate, and can have an impact on how comfortable we feel in our environment.
The main factors that affect humidity include temperature and the amount of water vapor being added to or removed from the air. Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air, so as the temperature increases, the relative humidity decreases and vice versa.
Humidity can be measured using instruments called hygrometers. These devices can measure absolute humidity, relative humidity, or specific humidity, depending on their design.
High humidity can make the air feel warmer than it actually is, while low humidity can make the air feel cooler. It can also affect the rate of evaporation, which in turn can impact the formation of clouds and precipitation.
