What to Focus On

  • Humidity is the amount of water vapour in the air.
  • Absolute humidity = grams of water vapour per cubic metre of air.
  • Specific humidity = grams of water vapour per kilogram of air.

  • Evaporation adds water vapour to the air; it increases with temperature and wind speed.
  • Condensation removes water vapour and forms liquid or solid water.
  • Cooling of air and presence of condensation nuclei are essential for condensation.

  • Precipitation is water falling from clouds in liquid or solid form.
  • Rain: droplets 0.5–6.35 mm in size; drizzle: smaller than 0.5 mm.
  • Snow forms as ice crystals when temperature is below 0°C.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

All rain is the same; it doesn’t matter how it forms as long as there are clouds.

Relative humidity tells us the actual amount of water vapour in the air.

Dew and fog are different because one is liquid and the other is gas.

Memory Tips

Three types of rainfall: Convectional, Orographic, Cyclonic

Relative Humidity = (Actual Water Vapour / Max Water Vapour) × 100%

Dew forms when dew point > 0°C, Frost when < 0°C

Absolute Humidity = grams of water vapour per cubic metre of air
