I know you use a thermometor (sp?) to measure temperature, and a barometer to measure air pressure. What's instrument that measures humidity called? Does it even have a name?

Hygrometer which consists of a dry bulb thermometer and a wet bulb thermometer and Hygrograph which gives a continuous record of the humidity value using human hair, on a graph.
Another sensor known as hygristor using lithium chloride is used to find out the humidity values at different altitudes.This sensor is a part of the instrument called radiosonde which is tied to a hydrogen filled balloon is released everyday in different places at the same time to know the values of pressure ,temperatue,humidty wind speed and direction at different levels above the ground .Hygristor's resistance varies with the humidity and this principle is used to find out the humidity.

Hygrometer - I had a man from the council using his in my damp back room only last Thursday!
