Yes. The relative humidity of 100% indicates that the air is transporting all the water it can at that temperature, not that the air is 100% water. Any additional water (or drop in the temperature) would "super-saturate" the air, normally resulting in condensation or precipitation. At 35° C (95°F) at sea-level pressure, air can only carry about 40 grams of water per kilogram of air, which is only 4% by weight. So 96% of the 100% humidity air that you breathe is still air. At 20°C (68°F), the maximum concentration is only 1.5% water to 98.5% air.

Not physically possible as l00 % is saturation with water vapor. this is not something like , say acceleration rates of motors, where, perhaps a ( ll0% power) full normal plus l0 percent, say, with Overdrive, is possible.

By definition, no. You might cobble together some odd series of events that make a good story, but the answer is no. It's just like how much liquid can a bottle hold...the answer is 100%.

Yes, quite frequently, at the surface in fog, and aloft, in heavy rain clouds.

it starts to rain because if the humidity is high it is very moist outside so it rains

What type of weather is likely to occur when relative humidity reaches 100 percent?

When the relative humidity reaches 100%, the dew point and air temperature are exactly the same and the weather is extremely humid and it is possible that it will be raining


Describe the likely temperature and relative humidity that occur during the night?

-35 degrees Celsius.., the relative humidity will be in the high 90%


Describe two ways the relative humidity of an air mass can change?

A change in temperature would most likely do that.


What happens when temperature and dew point are equal?

This is the point at which saturation occurs. This is also signifies 100% relative humidity. If you want to find out how close it is to reaching saturation, all you have to do is find actual vapor pressure (found by temp.), and saturation vapor pressure(found by dewpoint). You can look online for conversion charts. Once you find them, plug them into this equation: actual vapor pressure/saturation vapor pressure x 100%. Your answer should be a percentage. If it's around 60-80 percent, then you know it's cold, and there is high humidity; thus, saturation is likely to occur. If it's around 10-30 percent, then you know the humidity is low and saturation is not likely occur. Warm weather= low humidity Cold weather= high humidity.


How can humidity be used to predict if it is going to rain?

Humidity is actually a very bad predictor of rain except for the couple of hours leading up to a storm -- in which case you can probably just as easily see the storm clouds approaching yourself.   Humidity is associated with stormy weather conditions but it's not a good short term predictor by itself because 1) humidity frequently occurs without being followed by rain and 2) rain occurs frequently without first being preceded by humidity. What normally happens is rain causes humidity, not the other way around, but even that's not true 100% of the time (while the dew point will usually go up, if it's followed by a large warm front, relative humidity can decrease). What you probably want in order to predict rain is a barometer which measures air pressure. The faster air pressure is dropping the more likely rain is moving into your area. That combined with other indicators such as humidity (dew point) and temperature will give you a more complete picture of what kind of weather pattern you're sitting in.

Why evaporation is less in rainy season?

For any given temperature air can only dissolve so much water in it, the amount of water dissolved in air for any given temperature is called the "relative humidity" of the air. Thus in the dry season it is likely that the relative humidity of the air will be low and the air will be able to absorb a lot of water, while during the rainy season the relative humidity will be high and the air will not be able to absorb more water very well.


Why does relative humidity increase at night?

because land heats up and cools down very fast so at night when the sun is not there the land starts to cool down quickly and the excess of heat is sent back by long wave radiation


Does rain occurs when humidity is high or low?

Both, it just is more likely to rain when the humidity is higher.
