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.
