Temperature and humidity share a single article as they are so closely linked. Generally, humidity in a growing context refers to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity Relative Humidity] (RH). As temperature decreases, the amount of water vapour the air can hold before the water condenses back into a liquid, decreases. In other words, hotter air can hold more water vapour per volume than cold air can<ref>https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-indoor-cannabis-growing-relative-humidity-and-temperatures-n243</ref>. To reiterate in another way, it is possible to lower humidity by warming up the air. All due to the relationship between temperature and humidity.
 
In fact, this is the principle that freeze-drying relies on. Temperature and humidity can also be used to calculate the Vapour pressure deficit (VPD) which provides an indication of the cultivar's capacity for [[Plant processes#Respiration|gas exchangeRespiration]] and [[Plant processes#Transpiration|transpiration]].
