What will happen if the temperature of saturated air at 20° C drops down to 10° C abruptly?
Answers
"With the decrease in temperature from 20o C to 10o C there will be a relative fall in humidity. With the change in temperature the humidity content of the air changes.
The cold air is capable of holding less water content than that of warmer air even when fully saturated. The temperature fall will make the air lose its moisture content and reduce the humidity index.
Saturation level is that point where no further addition can be made to the present state.

Meteorologists usually talk or measure about humidity in plenty of ways.
One of the prime measurements they utilize is relative humidity because it determines how dry the air really feels.
The relative humidity is considered as the function of both how much wet air contains in the atmosphere and the temperature.
If you increase the temperature while maintaining moisture content the relative humidity decreases gradually.
