How can relative humidity be measured?

HiThe problem with explaining humidity, is its relation ship to human life. Nobody is really interested until it affect them. The simplest way to describe relative humidity is at 100% the human body can not evaporate body sweat, and a person feels muggy. At 45% a person will feel the most comfortable. And to understand humidity the hotter the air, the more water it can contain. Humidifiers can help indoors to get an acceptable percentage, to make life comfortable.I hope this helped.
