The amount of water vapour within the air. It is expressed as a percentage of its closeness to the air being saturated. For example, where air is fully saturated it is said to be at 100% relative humidity. Lower temperatures will typically result in a rise in relative humidity because the air cannot hold as much water vapour when compared with higher temperatures. See also Dew Point.
