The Ice Cube Test:* Place two or three ice cubes into a glass, add water and stir. Wait three to four minutes. If moisture does not form on the outside of the glass, the air is too dry; you may need a humidifier. If water has condensed on the outside of the glass, the level of relative humidity is high.

Do humidity monitors work?

Humidity sensors work by detecting changes that alter electrical currents or temperature in the air. There are three basic types of humidity sensors: capacitive, resistive and thermal. All three types will monitor minute changes in the atmosphere in order to calculate the humidity in the air.

What's psychrometer?

Psychrometers. A psychrometer measures humidity by taking both a wet-bulb and a dry-bulb temperature reading. With those two values known, the other properties of the air, including its moisture content, can be determined by computation or by reading a psychrometric chart.
