Relative Humidity (RH)

Back to Absolute Humidity (AH)
Greenhouse with Glass

Short definition

The percentage of moisture in the air compared to its maximum holding capacity at a given temperature.

Expanded definition

Relative Humidity (RH) expresses how saturated the air is with water vapor. It's temperature-dependent and measured in percentage, in contrast of Absolute Humidity.

In Greenhouse Context

RH affects transpiration, disease development, and energy use. Growers monitor RH closely to balance plant growth and dehumidification.
