What is the relation between humidity and temperature?

Click For Summary
Humidity and temperature are closely related, with relative humidity being influenced by temperature changes. When temperature increases, the air can hold more water vapor, which can decrease relative humidity if the actual water content remains constant. Conversely, a decrease in temperature leads to an increase in relative humidity, as colder air holds less moisture. The absolute amount of water in the air does not change with temperature fluctuations. Understanding this relationship is crucial for weather predictions and climate studies.

what is the relation between humidity and temperature? what effect when on humidity when temp. increase or decrease?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
ONly relative humidity (percent of water vapor concentration/total potential water concentration) is affected by temperature. The physical amount of water present in air is not affected. However, the colder the air, the less water that can be readily held in solution. e.g. temperature decrease results in a relative humidity increase
 

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
