páratartalma

Páratartalma, also known as relative humidity, is a measure of the amount of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a specific temperature. It is expressed as a percentage and is a crucial factor in understanding weather conditions and human comfort. High relative humidity can make the air feel warmer than it actually is, while low relative humidity can make it feel cooler. This is because the human body cools itself through the evaporation of sweat, and high humidity reduces the rate of evaporation, making it feel hotter. Conversely, low humidity increases the rate of evaporation, making it feel cooler. Relative humidity is also an important factor in the formation of clouds and precipitation, as well as in the growth of mold and mildew. It is typically measured using a hygrometer, a device that measures the amount of water vapor in the air.
