Using climatological data for 30 years (1951-1980) for twelve stations. some characteristics of relative humidity (RH) in Bangladesh have been studied. In doing so, annual variation, spatial distribution, diurnal and annual amplitudes of RH have been investigated. The correlation characteristics of RH between Dhaka and some other stations have been analysed. Finally, the date of beginning and ending and the duration of RH in some defined limits (above 75%, 80% and 85%) have been discussed: An attempt has also been made to explain the cause of temporal and spatial variations from synoptic point of view.
