No. Rain itself increases humidity. However, in temperate latitudes rain often comes before a cold front, which can decrease humidity.

If the air at 75 degrees is full of moisture and the temperature suddenly drops what will happen?

Precipitation will be released in the form of hail and/or rain and the humidity will remain unchanged. or The relative humidity will decrease.


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.


If temperature remains unchanged and mixing ratio decreases how will relative humidity change?

The relative humidity will decrease


What does the relative humidity going up have to do with rain?

that is how the clouds for to make rain droplets


When humidity is high the chance of rain or snow is what?

With high humidity this means there is a lot of water vapour in the air, therefore the chance of precipitation (rain or snow) is high.

Does humidity effect the weather?

Yes, the higher the humidity, the more chance of rain. 80-100% of humidity is rain.

Does rain occurs when humidity is high or low?

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