relative humidity

http://www.thefreedictionary.com/relative humidity

"The ratio of the actual amount of water vapor present in a volume of air at a given temperature to the maximum amount that the air could hold at that temperature, expressed as a percentage. Warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air, so a particular amount of water vapor will yield a lower relative humidity in warm air than it does in cool air. Compare absolute humidity."

relative air humidity

In English 'relative humidity' is used more than 'relative air humidity'. The same happens in Portuguese. However in this case 'ar' is specifically included so this should be matched in the translation!

Example sentence:

System for determining relative air humidity

Relative air humidity variation over weather stations
