How to find the humidity using a hygrometer

To find the percentage of humidity, follow the nearest curved dotted lines to the right of the chart. If the dry bulb temperature were 70 degrees F, for example, and the web bulb temperature were 62 degrees F, you would find the relative humidity would be 60% which is well within the comfort zone.

Meteorology and the sling hygrometer

What is Meteorology?

Meteorology is the science of weather prediction. Meteorology involves many techniques. However, the accuracy of weather prediction can still be greatly improved with better technology.

Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. Humidity makes all the difference in determining whether a warm day is pleasant or muggy and a cool day refreshing or clammy. Meteorologists find the figure for relative humidity by comparing the amount of moisture in the air with the amount it could hold if it were saturated at the same temperature. This is the idea behind a hygrometer.
