Question

Does humidity affect water temperature?

Answer 1

no, humidity is how much moisture is in the air, the amount of energy put in the atmosphere (heat) is wut changes the temp. of water

Answer 2

Yes.

The rate of evaporation is dependent upon humidity.  The lower the humidity, the drier the air above, and the faster the evaporation of water.  If the humidity is very low, ground can get very dry because it is quickly evaporating any water that it contains.  On the contrary, if the humidity is very high, evaporation is inhibited and the ground will stay wet.  This could cause build-up of surface water, and more mosquitoes and other water-borne pests.

Answer 3

No, humidity is water levels in the air, not temperature.

Answer 4

Can you clarify your question?

Answer 5

Infinitesimally.  Denser/humid air will affect how much radiation from the sun reaches surface water and how much heat escapes from the water differently than less humid air - but not to the point where it really makes a difference to us humans...it is our perceptions of the water temperature that are affected...

Answer 6

Depends on your location.

Answer 7

Yes.

Evaporation is a endothermic reaction.  So evaporation cools down water.  The rate of evaporation depends on the relative humidity of the air.

Answer 8

The lower the humidity of air above the surface of water,the higher is the rate of evaporation.If the rate of evaporation increases, cooling of the water surface increases leading to decrease in temperature.

When humidity of air above the surface increases approaching condition of saturation,the rate of evaporation also becomes slower.Moreover,the abundance of water vapour on a water surface exercises a blanketing influence by absorbing the outgoing radiation and re-radiating some of it back to the surface leading to increase of surface temperature.
