Relative humidity means Dry Bulb temp. It simply means outside air temp.

So, wet air means low temp which means low dry bulb temp, ie low humidity.

Humidity - It is the amount of water vapor present in air, when the air gets wet water vapor decreases & air gets hot water vapor increases.

Relative humidity signifies the absorption capacity of air, if initial relative humidity of air is less it will absorb more moisture.

What is the relative humidity if air is 100% saturated? If the answer is 1 relative humidity should increase as it gets wet, right?

Abhinav Chikate said:   8 years ago
If air is getting wet that means the moisture content is increasing, which eventually results in increased relative humidity.

The answer is A because, if air got wet then convert into the liquid and air become dry. Example like Winter.

Answer should be false. Because the air gets wet where RH is increases.

Mohamed alayoubi said:   1 decade ago
Yes the relative humidity by sense increasing when the air get wets.

Boyka said:   6 years ago
If we check the psychrometric chart, it should actually increase.

Dinesh said:   9 years ago
Is this also true for adiabatic saturation?

Please clarify it.
