Hygrometers

A hygrometer is a meteorological instrument that measures moisture content of the air, also known as humidity. Because the temperature of the air controls how much water vapor it can hold, any type of humidity variable is dependent on temperature.

Humidity is usually expressed as relative humidity and represented as a percentage because it is always a function of the present temperature. When relative humidity reaches 100%, the air is saturated.
