Yes. Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor actually in the air compared to the amount that could be in the air (saturation point) at the exisiting temperature. So, if the temperature of the air changes and the amount of water vapor in it does not, the relative humidity will be different. But, if the temperature of the air changes and so does the amount of water vapor in it, then the relative humidity could be the same as before the temperature change.

That is to say that the air could contain the same percentage of water vapor that it could hold at each temperature, even though the actual amounts are different.

What happens to the relative humidity of air as it increases in elevation?

As air increases in elevation, its relative humidity typically decreases.


What should the dew point and humidity be to use a evaporative cooler?

At 32°C (90°F) and 15% relative humidity, air may be cooled to nearly 16°C (60°F).At 32°C (90°F) and 50% relative humidity, air may be cooled to about 24°C (75°F).At 40°C (105°F) and 15% relative humidity, air may be cooled to nearly 21°C (70°F).

When air is cooled humidity will?

When air is cooled, its ability to hold moisture decreases, leading to condensation forming as the air reaches its dew point. This can cause a relative increase in humidity as the air's water vapor concentration remains the same but its capacity to hold it decreases.
