A hygrometer measures the relative humidity at a location, which can then be used to compute the dew point.

Humidity is generally high, averaging about 80 .

It also changes with variation in temperature or humidity.

A Schirmer's test can measure the amount of moisture bathing the eye.

The unit heats air at the bottom, reducing its relative humidity, and the natural tendency of hot air to rise brings this low humidity air into contact with the clothes.

In reality, however, it is extremely rare for an environment to maintain a constant fixed relative humidity, and some degree of dimensional change along with seasonal changes in relative humidity is to be expected.

Moisture meters are used to measure the percentage of water in a given substance.

Workers come home from their jobs to homes that are dark, dank, and depressing.

However, the low humidity level mitigates the effect of high temperatures.

Thailand enjoys a tropical climate, with a high level of humidity throughout the year.

Malaysia maintains a humidity level around ninety percent because of its location close to the equator.

However, in humid climates much energy is required to remove excess moisture from ventilation air.

The average relative humidity is 75 , varying from 72 in July to 77 in November.

Specially designed glasses that form a moisture chamber around the eye may be used to create additional humidity.

The climate is tropical monsoonal, slightly less humid than the average in this part of Indonesia.

Some standards suggest a limit for the relative humidity in a space to 60 or 70 .

) In addition, world wide operation will also involve exposure in areas of high humidity.

Peruvian newspapers reported on Thursday, July 4, 2013, that humidity in Lima reached 100 .

The average humidity is 81 , ranging from a high of 88 to a low of 69 in May.

The rainy season, which runs from May to October, sees high temperatures accompanied by high humidity.

A high relative humidity implies that the dew point is closer to the current air temperature.

They prefer warm places and a relatively high humidity if possible they also need a source of food liquid.

Designed to improve manufacturing process control in a printing plant, Carrier's invention controlled not only temperature but also humidity.

The device was even able to adjust the humidity level to a desired setting creating what would become the framework for the modern air conditioner.

Relative humidity of 100 indicates the dew point is equal to the current temperature and that the air is maximally saturated with water.

A common use for desiccators is to protect chemicals which are hygroscopic or which react with water from humidity.

A common example is a plant root growing in humid air bending toward a higher relative humidity level.

Using a humidifier, especially in the winter, can help by adding moisture to the dry indoor air.

A humidifier is a device that increases humidity (moisture) in a single room or an entire building.

This allows for a comprehensive, accurate picture of the environmental conditions being monitored, such as air temperature and relative humidity.

By mid August, humidity levels were averaging below 20 and were recorded as low as 6 on one occasion.

In the men's race, conducted the previous day, humidity and heat had taken the greatest toll on the athletes.

Although humidification technology could raise its relative humidity to comfortable middle levels, this is not done since humidity promotes corrosion to the inside of the hull and risks condensation which could short electrical systems, so for safety reasons it is deliberately kept to a low value, around 10 .

To process these wet gases in a conventional cold gas contact process (DCDA) plant would necessitate cooling and drying of the gas to remove all moisture.

Effects The high humidity in the air during this season encourages the formation of mold and rot not only on food but on fabrics as well.

Humidity is low, and average rainfall varies from almost zero in the coastal desert to more than 600 mm in the Caprivi Strip.

The incubator maintains optimal temperature, humidity and other conditions such as the carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen content of the atmosphere inside.

The audience was convinced by these arguments, so disconnected were they from the realities of the Arctic summer storms, fogs, high humidity, and ever present threat of ice formation.

We support the idea of creating, as a matter of urgency, regional mechanisms for monitoring, early warning and assessment to deal with hydrometeorological and geological dangers at the global level.

It's trying to walk on the coarse terrain, sandy area, but depending on the moisture content or the grain size of the sand the foot's soil sinkage model changes.

Its maximum moisture is 56 , its minimum fat content in dry matter is 43 , and its pH usually ranges from 4.4 to 4.6.

The index is derived from the stability (temperature difference between different levels of the atmosphere) and moisture content (dew point depression) of the lower atmosphere.

This plant is called the Welwitschia, and it lives only in parts of coastal Namibia and Angola, where it's uniquely adapted to collect moisture from mist coming off the sea.

More elaborate incubators can also include the ability to lower the temperature (via refrigeration), or the ability to control humidity or CO2 levels.

However, the humidity is extremely low during these hot spells and, as a result the summer climate is less torrid than in the rest of the Indian subcontinent.
