Visual lesson 02

Temperature & humidity

See how air temperature and relative humidity combine to shape evaporative demand rather than acting as independent numbers.

Temperature & humidity

Relative humidity changes meaning with temperature because vapor pressure is temperature-dependent
RH60% RH60% RHcooler airwarmer airtemperature + RH + leaf temperature + airflow + light
Air temperature

Warmer air has a higher saturation vapor pressure, so temperature changes the vapor-pressure context even if relative humidity is unchanged.

Knowledge check

Can you explain what the visual is showing?

Practice

Why should temperature and relative humidity be considered together?
