If the absolute humidity remains constant while the temperature rises, the relative humidity will decrease (and vice versa). This is because the air's capacity to hold water increases as the temperature increases so the constant amount of water represents a smaller and smaller percentage of the maximum amount the air can hold.
A:
As air temperature goes up, the maximum amount of water vapor that it can hold goes up.
Thus if the water content stays constant, the the humidity goes down.
If the humidity stays constant, then the water vapor content goes up.
Relative humidity decrease as temperature increases so it gets less humid as it gets hotter.
Technically there can be more water vapor in the atmosphere at higher temperatures but it will feel dryer because any extra water (or sweat) will dissipate at a faster rate when it's hotter. 100% humidity occurs when the air temperature decreases to what's known as the dew point. When this happens dew (or frost) accumulates and fog forms outside. Temperature very rarely drops bellow the dew point because water vapor carries a certain amount of thermal momentum but it does happen occasionally and when it does humidity increases above 100%.
The basic relationship is the further above from the dew point the temperature gets the less humid it becomes.
No. Relative humidity is dependent on temperature. And air pressure. BLABLABLA IM A UNICORN
Relative humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in air. As temperature increases, the relative humidity goes down, hence it is dependent on air temperature.
They can vary independently -
BUT, if the temp goes up AND the amount of moisture in the air stays constant, THEN the relative humidity goes down.
true
The temperature determines the humidity.
There is an effect if you're a living being and trying to cool down. Humidity does not change the temperature. It will make it difficult for your body to cool down, so it 'feels' hotter with humidity. Sweat has to evaporate for your body to cool down. It's harder to evaporate when the air is already saturated with water (ie high humidity).
The higher the relative humidity is the lower rate of evaporation.
Hygrometers measure the relative humidity of the atmosphere. The relative humidity is the ratio between the present water vapor content of the air and the maximum amount of water vapor the air could hold at the same temperature. Cool air will not hold as much water vapor as warmer air. With the same amount of moisture in the air, an increase in temperature decreases the relative humidity, and if the temperature drops, relative humidity increases.
The relative humidity of chaparral can vary depending on factors such as temperature and time of day. Generally, chaparral regions have relatively low humidity, often ranging between 20% to 60%. However, during cooler or more humid periods such as mornings or after rainfall, the relative humidity can be higher.

relative humidity is the AMOUNT of water in the air. Dew Point is the TEMPERATURE at which the water vapor in the air is turned into liquid water.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor at any given time and relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the greatest amount it can hold at that air temperature.
The higher the relative humidity is the lower rate of evaporation.

Relative Humidity and atmospheric pressure and temperature to a small part.
This is called relative humidity. It is the ratio between the actual humidity, and the humidity for saturated air - that is, the maximum amount of water air can hold. This saturation point is dependent on temperature.
