1. A direct proportionality exists between vapour pressure and the concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere
2. Relative humidity is an expression of the ratio of the actual vapour pressure of the atmosphere when saturated at the same temperature
3. A rise or fall in temperature with no change in vapour pressure will cause a drop or rise, respectively, in relative humidity
4. A rise or fall in vapour pressure with no change in temperature will be accompanied by a rise or fall, respectively, in relative humidity
