Daily Relative Humidity

Abstract

Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of moisture in the air presented as a percentage of the maximum amount of moisture that air can hold at its current temperature. Shifting patterns of relative humidity, as projected by the Met Office Hadley Centre climate models, can influence indoor air quality conditions, with consequential impacts to occupant health. To help illustrate these patterns, the average annual relative humidity (%) is mapped for the average year in the time period for the 50th and 95th percentile models out of the 12-model suite. Time periods are baseline (1980-2000), 2030 (2021-2040), and 2070 (2061-2080). County-level results represent an area-weighted-average of the results for each climate data grid within the county.
