Why does relative humidity rarely reach 100 percent in polluted air conditions?
Relative humidity rarely reaches 100% humidity when air is polluted. This is do to emissions of carbon dioxide and sulfates, and is known as haze.
What is the percent of relative humidity when raining?
The relative humidity when it is raining is generally considered to be 100% since if it was lower the rain would evaporate before it reach the ground.
What will happen if relative humidity is 100 percent and the temperature begins falling?
It will be stiky and unconmfortable
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
Is 100 percent relative humidity underwater?
No. The keyword in this term is "relative." Relative humidity stands for the amount of moisture currently in the air with respect to (or relative to) the amount of moisture that can be held in the air. Colder air can hold less moisture than warm air, so there's a much greater chance of having 100% relative humidity when it's cool out than when it's warm out. For example, if you wake up on a cool morning and experience dew on the ground, it is because the cool air is holding as much moisture (i.e. humidity) as it possibly can. So you are experiencing 100% relative humidity. However, if that same amount of moisture stays in the air throughout the day, once the air warms up, the higher temperature allows for more moisture to be present in the air, and the air may not be fully saturated with moisture, thus you have a relative humidity that is less than 100%. So no, you do not have to be underwater to experience 100% relative humidity; in fact, underwater there is no air to surround you... so you're not experiencing any relative humidity at all.
Would the average relative humidity on a rainy day be closer to 100 percent humidity or 50 percent humidity?
100%.
Is the humidity 50 percent or 100 percent on a rainy day?
There is no exact answer, the humidity can be anywhere between 0-100
What heat dissipation mechanism is lost when humidity approaches 100 percent?
Sweating is no longer efficient near 100 percent humidity.
What percent change is 80 percent to 100 percent humidity?
25% increase.
What is the humidity percent in a cheese refrigerator?

What does it mean when relative humidity is 100 percent?
It is raining
Can you have 100 percent humidity without rain?
Yes
What happens at 100 percent specific humidity?
It rains
What is air that has 100 percent relative humidity said to be?
Saturated
How big can raindrops get when the himidity is 100 percent?
when the Humidity is at 100 percent the raindrops are a little thicker then potato wedges because of condensation.
