Main Definitions
- humidity |n| a quantity representing the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere or a gas.
- "An uncomfortably high amount of relative humidity: It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity that tires me out."
- damp |n| moisture diffused through the air or a solid substance or condensed on a surface, typically with detrimental or unpleasant effects.
- "Hotter, drier summers will bring an increased risk of property subsidence, while wetter winters may cause damp , condensation and mould problems."
- muggy |adj| unpleasantly warm and humid.

- dry |adj| free from moisture or liquid; not wet or moist.

Some Chemical Elements- water vapour |n| water in a vaporous form diffused in the atmosphere but below boiling temperature.
- condensation |n| the process of changing from a gaseous to a liquid or solid state.
- saturation |n| the process of totally saturating something with a substance.
Forecast Elements
- relative humidity |n| the ratio of the amount of water in the air at a give temperature to the maximum amount it could hold at that temperature; expressed as a percentage.
- temperature |n| one of the most variable characteristics of the atmosphere, humidity is an important factor in climate and weather: it regulates air temperature by absorbing thermal radiation both from the Sun and the Earth; it is directly proportional to the latent energy available for the generation of storms; and it is the ultimate source of all forms of condensation and precipitation.
