What Tool Measures Humidity?

Humidity is the amount of water vapour suspended in the air. Most humidity determining devices measure and express relative humidity, and so the terms are used interchangeably. Relative humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air compared to the amount of water that the atmosphere can hold at a specific temperature. There's an extensive variety of devices that measure humidity, each with different specifications and capabilities that meet individual needs.
