A humidity monitoring device is called a hygrometer. Hygrometers may be designed for indoor or outdoor humidity monitoring use (or both). Below is a summary of the types of hygrometers available for measuring humidity. Analog hygrometers use a moisture-sensitive material that is attached to a coil spring.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere caused by condensation and evaporation. It can be measured as absolute humidity (the amount of water vapor in a unit volume of air), or as relative humidity (the ratio of moisture in the atmosphere to the maximum moisture the atmosphere can hold).
