It is the amount of water vapour present in the atmosphere. It can be measured by an Hygrometer. Humidity is greatly affected by intensity of solar radiation, temperature, altitude, wind exposure, cover and water status of soil. High temperatures increases the capacity of air to retain moisture and..
