The density of the water vapour present in a mixture of air and water vapour, that is, the ratio of the mass of water vapour to the volume occupied by the mixture, usually measured in grams per cubic centimetre. Cold air cannot contain as much water vapour as warm air, so cold air has a lower absolute humidity than warm air. See also relative humidity.
