Relative Humidity
The ratio, expressed as a percentage, of water vapor present compared with the maximum amount possible at the present temperature.

Relative Humidity. The ratio of the humidity of a given volume of air to its maximum possible humidity at the same temperature.
You can change the temperature, the atmospheric pressure, and the relative humidity of the air; the program will calculate the air density that affects the side force. Try setting up a pitch and changing the location. What happens to the trajectory?
If relative humidity is low (i.e, there is a large difference between the temperature and dewpoint), haze is reported.
It is possible for carburettor ice to form even when the skies are clear and the outside air temperature is as high as 90 degrees Fahrenheit, if the relative humidity is 50 percent or more particularly when engine rpm is low.
The cloud base environment tends to have a shallow dry layer of air with a high relative humidity and a moist adiabatic lapse rate.
