Relative humidity decreases with increased temperature, assuming the absolute amount of water vapour in the air remains constant.<\/section>\n
Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapour to the equilibrium vapour pressure of water at a given temperature. The equilibrium vapour pressure (the maximum amount of water vapour the air can hold) increases significantly with increasing temperature.<\/section>\n
If the amount of water vapour in the air stays the same, but the temperature rises, the air’s capacity to hold water vapour increases. This means the actual vapour content becomes a smaller percentage of the maximum possible content, resulting in a decrease in relative humidity.<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
