hygrometers
Atmospheric dampness sensors
Hygrometers are instruments that measure humidity—the amount of water vapor in air.
They range from simple devices using human hair (which changes length with moisture) to electronic sensors in weather stations and HVAC systems.
The hygrometer showed indoor humidity at forty percent.
