Answer:
This is because of the high moisture content in the air due to evaporation from the sea. ... Thus the air in this region feels dry. Most of the moisture content of the air is lost by rain to other areas and thus summers tend to become very hot in these regions.
Humidity is the measure of the amount of moisture in the air. A psychrometer is an example of a hygrometer. A psychrometer uses two thermometers to measure relative humidity; one measures the dry-bulb temperature and the other measures the wet-bulb temperature.
The condensation process. Condensation is the term for water changing state from a vapor to a liquid. The process requires the presence of water vapor in the atmosphere, falling temperature and the presence of another object for water vapor to condense around.
Three types of clouds
Clouds form in three basic patterns: Cirrus, from cirro, meaning curly or fibrous. Stratus, from strato, suggesting sheets or layers. Cumulus, from cumulo, indicating heaped or piled.
Clouds that produce rain and snow fall into this category. ("Nimbus" comes from the Latin word for "rain.") Two examples are the nimbostratus or cumulonimbus clouds. Nimbostratus clouds bring continuous precipitation that can last for many hours
First, relative humidity is defined as the ratio of water vapor or humidity in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor that can actually be in the air, which is then dependent on the temperature.
