This instrument with a wet and dry bulb thermometer is used to measure:

Before High School Football practice, by law this measurement has to be taken to determine how often there are water breaks.

• Relative humidity

• Air pressure

• Air temperature

• Wind speed

While a high temperature can lead to low relative humidity

A low dewpoint, which indicates a lower amount of moisture in the air, is more strongly correlated with drier conditions.

When is the relative humidity the lowest in the graph?

• midnight

• 6 am

• 10 am

• 4 pm
