To calculate relative humidity, you first need to determine the dry bulb temperature (DBT) and the wet bulb temperature (WBT) using a psychrometer. Once you have these temperatures, you can use a psychrometric chart or a formula that incorporates both temperatures. Relative humidity (RH) can be calculated using the equation: ( RH = \frac{E}{E_s} \times 100 ), where ( E ) is the actual vapor pressure derived from the WBT and ( E_s ) is the saturation vapor pressure derived from the DBT. Alternatively, many online calculators can compute RH directly when provided with DBT and WBT.
