Does humidity have any link with temperature change?

Answer 1

I came across this question while trying to find an answer to a similar question. The answer to: "Does humidity have any link with temperature change?", is yes. Warmer air can hold more moister, and colder air holds less moisture. That is why we get so dry in the winter and run humidifyers. the relative humidityoutside may be 75%, but when that same air is inside and warmer, it has the same amount of water vapor in it, but could hold more. so the relative humidity is less. Think of air like a quirky milk container. When the container is cold it holds exactly 1 gallon. and if there were two quarts of milk in it, it would be 50% full. now leave the lid on, so no milk can get in or out. when the quirky milk container gets warm, it expands to two gallons. there is still only two quarts of milk in it, because we never took off the lid. now the container is only 25% full. Relative Humidity works the same way. when it is cold outside, air can only hold a certain amount of water vapor. when that same air comes inside and gets warm, it can hold a lot more, so realatively speaking, the container, I mean air, has a smaller percentage of fullness, I mean, Humidity in it. Hope this helps. I was looking for the exact amount of percentage changes given amount in now, and temperature change.

Answer 2

Humisity is the measure of the amount of water vapour in the air. If the amount of water vapour in the air is 100%, then a fog is about to occur. However, if you warm the air, it will hold more water. So, if you don't add that water, the humidity will decrease.

Put it another way, take some air from a warm summer day. Then gadually cool it. The humidity will gradually increase until at some point will be 100%. Any further cooling will cause the excess water to form small droplets - a mist.

Answer 3

Some people claim that a "wet" cold feels colder than a "dry" cold. One possible reason for this is that we wear insulating clothing in the winter. The dead air spaces within the fill materials of a jacket or within the fibers of a sweater limit the loss of body heat, due to the low thermal conductivity of air. Thermal conductivity increases as relative humidity increases, so body heat is more quickly lost in more humid conditions, making one feel colder.

All other conditions being equal, a cold day with rain and/or fog feels colder than a dry day. If moisture is on the skin, heat will be lost through conduction of heat from the body to the water as well as the evaporating cooling effects of the water.

Answer 4

Yes, humidity can affect temperature change. High humidity can make it feel hotter because it hinders sweat evaporation, while low humidity can make it feel cooler because sweat evaporates more easily. Additionally, changes in humidity can impact the way the atmosphere retains and releases heat.

Answer 5

yes when the temperature is high the humidity decreases and when temperature is low the humidity increases.
