A hygrometer is an instrument used to detect the amount of moisture and humidity in the air. This can be useful if you live in a warm or humid climate. If you have a wine cellar. Or you just dig knowing what is going on with the weather. The humidity in your home and office has a direct effect on your health, power bill and damage to your walls and belonging.

What does the humidity reading mean?
A hygrometer displays relative humidity, usually as a percentage. This tells you how much moisture is in the air compared with the amount it could hold at the current temperature.
The reading may vary between rooms and change during the day. Rather than judging your home by a single number, you can use the gauge to understand the conditions in a particular space over time.
Using a hygrometer at home
Where should I place it?
Put the gauge in the room you want to monitor and follow the placement guidance for your model. Avoid positioning it directly beside a heater, open window or source of steam if you want a reading that represents the wider room.
How often should I check it?
Check it at different times to learn what is typical for the room. You may find it useful to compare readings before and after activities that add moisture to the air.
Will it reduce humidity?
No. A hygrometer measures humidity; it does not change it. The reading can help you decide whether to ventilate the room or look into a persistent moisture issue.
What if I also want temperature?
Look for a combination instrument that displays both humidity and temperature. Check the individual product description to see which readings it includes.
Find a gauge that belongs in your space
Your hygrometer will be on display, so appearance matters too. Explore the Fischer range for an analogue instrument that suits your room, whether you prefer a classic finish or a more modern look.
