Answer: Humidity is inversely related to the air pressure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Humidity is defined as the amount of water vapor present in air. Humid air has more water content in the air.

Air pressure is defined as the amount of air present in a column.

Humid air means less air content in the air and it further means low pressure.

From this, we can say that humidity is inversely related to the air pressure.


\text{Humidity}\propto \frac{1}{\text{Air pressure}}

More, the humidity, less will be the air pressure and vice-versa.
