relative humidity
Atmospheric moisture percentage
Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air expressed as a percentage of the maximum the air could hold at that temperature.
Warm air holds more moisture than cold air, so the same amount of vapor produces different relative humidity readings at different temperatures.
When relative humidity reaches 100%, the air is saturated and condensation occurs.
The relative humidity today is 85%.
