This is because of the temperature coefficient Q10. For every 10 degree increase in temperature, the rate of a reaction will double. Like wise for every 10 degree decrease, the rate of a reaction will be reduced by half. This also applies to relative humidity which is the amount of water vapor in the air expressed as a percent of the maximum amount of water vapor that can be held in the air at that specific temperature.Every 10 degree increase in temperature enables to hold twice the amount of water vapor, which is why it is hot out when the weather is humid. For every 10 degree drop in temperature, the air loses half the amount of water vapor it can hold. This water precipitates out of the air as dew when the temperature drops at night. So, as you can imagine, the air inside the freezer can hold very little water vapor and thus has little absolute humidity.

However the Relative Humidity can be high. The amount of water held is low but the maximum amount it can hold at that temperature is also low, so the relative humidity can be high, like 90%.

Why Delhi is hotter than Chennai in summer?

I think its has to do with the humidity and height of the region. Kochi is almost at the sea level and New Delhi is 239mtr above sea level. No matter what period of the year the temperature is always from 28 to 36 always. Even in rainy days the temperature is always around 28-30. The atmospheric pressure is always high in kochi. Humidity is always above 95%. Its ia sea shore city and lots of back water make this place look like a pressure cooker. But its temperature always have a low dynamic range whereas in Delhi in summer you have very hi humidity and winter low humidity. If look at the temperature of Delhi during rainy seasons, its always around 28-35, with hi humidity of 95%. Humidity plays a major role in fluctuating the temperatures as well as height. For example 100 floor building will have different type of climate in its ground floor and its 100th floor.
