A termohygrometer is an instrument used to measure both temperature and humidity simultaneously. The term itself is a portmanteau derived from "thermo" for temperature and "hygrometer" for humidity. These devices are valuable in various applications where monitoring both atmospheric conditions is important for comfort, health, or scientific accuracy.

There are several types of termohygrometers available. Analog versions typically use bimetallic strips to indicate temperature and hair tension for humidity. Digital termohygrometers, on the other hand, employ electronic sensors. Temperature sensors can be thermistors or thermocouples, while humidity sensors often utilize capacitive or resistive elements that change their electrical properties in response to moisture in the air.

The readings from a termohygrometer are crucial in many fields. In meteorology, they aid in weather forecasting and climate monitoring. In HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems, they help maintain optimal indoor environments for comfort and energy efficiency. In agriculture, they can be used in greenhouses to control growing conditions for plants. In industrial settings, precise temperature and humidity control is often necessary for the storage of sensitive materials or the manufacturing of certain products. Consumer-grade termohygrometers are also common in homes to monitor indoor air quality.
