How much relative humidity can there be outdoors in Germany?

The percentage indicates what proportion of the maximum soluble water content is already present in the air. 100% cannot (or cannot easily) be exceeded. (Supersaturation, such as with oil vapor in a cloud chamber, is specially created.)

In the rainforest, etc., air saturation can actually reach 100%.

But already at 90% relative humidity, the water vapor begins to condense again, sometimes forming fog or settling on surfaces. I might occasionally reach 100% near a waterfall or in a floodplain forest, but in the regional climate, 90% is rarely exceeded.

And: Long before that, we humans feel like we are wrapped in warm, damp cotton wool, because our bodies can no longer cool themselves sufficiently through evaporative cooling at a relative humidity of 70%.

Of course, it can also be oversaturated and then become greater than 100%, but then the water starts to deposit somewhere, e.g. as fog or on plants, etc. Thus, the humidity then drops to 100% quite quickly.

Das Wasseraufnahmevolumen skaliert mit der Temperatur, das Maximum ist immer 100%- Bei 40° wären das z.B 39,6 g Wasser pro m³

100 percent when it rains.

More than 100 percent is not possible.

Didn't pay attention in school…. 120% 😉

100 % ist sowieso der maximale Prozentsatz!

Yes and no, a relative humidity of over 100% is also possible for a short time, then the water begins to condense.

100% is das max
