Relative Humidity Table To determine relative humidity:
1 Subtract the wet-bulb temperature from the dry-bulb temperature.
2 Find this number—the difference in degrees—at the top of the chart and place your finger on it.
3 Find the dry-bulb temperature in the first column on the left. Place your finger on it.
4 Bring your fingers down the column and across the row. The relative humidity percentage appears where column and row intersect on the chart.
