Yes. Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor actually in the air compared to the amount that could be in the air (saturation point) at the exisiting temperature. So, if the temperature of the air changes and the amount of water vapor in it does not, the relative humidity will be different. But, if the temperature of the air changes and so does the amount of water vapor in it, then the relative humidity could be the same as before the temperature change.
That is to say that the air could contain the same percentage of water vapor that it could hold at each temperature, even though the actual amounts are different.

But aside from the units, they can easily have the same number ... as long as
the temperature isn't below zero or over 100.

How does a change in temperature affect relative humidity and specific humidity?
When the temperature of air is cooled or reduced the relative humidity (RH) increases. The moisture content of the air remains the same until the RH rises to the point of 100% saturation and condensation occurs.
What is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount that could be in the air at that temperature?
relative humidity
What happens to relative humidity as a parcel or air rises?
The relative humidity drops. This is because the temperature for the parcel of air is cold and wet which leaves enough room for some water vapor, but not a lot.
How can relative humidity and dew point be used to predict the weather?
Relative humidity expresses a percentage of humidity in the air to the maximum amount of humidity that could be in the air. For example: when the temperature rises the air will be able to hold much more humidity so the relative humidity will drop.
What term is defined as the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water that the air can hold?
This is the measure of relative humidity. At 50 percent relative humidity, the air is holding half of what it could. It is relative humidity because it is related to the temperature and pressure of the air.
What happens when air that has reached its dew point is cooled further?
Relative humidity increases
What should the dew point and humidity be to use a evaporative cooler?
At 32°C (90°F) and 15% relative humidity, air may be cooled to nearly 16°C (60°F).At 32°C (90°F) and 50% relative humidity, air may be cooled to about 24°C (75°F).At 40°C (105°F) and 15% relative humidity, air may be cooled to nearly 21°C (70°F).
If the air temperature stays the samewhat happens to the relative humidity when the amount of moisture increases?
Relative humidity increases.
What happens to relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the air stays the same and temp increases?
The relative humidity will decrease.
How much us high relative humidity?
Relative humidity is 100% of water vapor in the air. When that happens dew forms.
How does a change in temperature affect relative humidity and specific humidity?
When the temperature of air is cooled or reduced the relative humidity (RH) increases. The moisture content of the air remains the same until the RH rises to the point of 100% saturation and condensation occurs.
What happens to the relative humidity of the amount of water vapor in the air stays the same but the air gets cooler?
The relative humidity increases, assuming that the pressure stays the same.
What happens to the relative humidity if the amount if water vapor in the air stays the same but the air gets cooler?
The relative humidity increases, assuming that the pressure stays the same.
What happens to the relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the air stays the same but air gets cooler?
The relative humidity increases, assuming that the pressure stays the same.
What happens to the relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the air stays the amount but the air gets cooler?
The relative humidity increases, assuming that the pressure stays the same.
What happens to the relative humidity if the amount of water vapor in the stays the but the air get coolers?
The relative humidity increases, assuming that the pressure stays the same.
If the amount of moisture stays the samewhat happens to the relative humidity when the air temperature decreases?
relative humidity increases. at a lower temperature, the air can hold less water vapour.
