Abstract

Honduras is a highly mountainous country, with a warm and humid weather, itseconomy is strongly based in agriculture and food production. The performance of this economic field could be influenced by different climatic factors such as Relative Humidity.

Relative humidity is a meteorological parameter which is measured in Honduras by 17% of the total of meteorological agencies. Unfortunately, there is no enough information as we would expect; moreover, most of the data that we do have is not 100% complete. Thus, if we want to work in a more efficient way, not only in agriculture, but also in the engineering field or the energy field, it is necessary to create a historical relative humidity database.

This research aim is to collect the most relative humidity data we can, so it can be studied and statistically analyzed. In this paper, we have acquired information from about 50 meteorological agencies. This data has been tested, completed and revised; making sure that we count with a continuous and homogeneous database. To complete the information provided by the different agencies, we have used a software that was developed in 2002 by the Spanish Cooperation Agency in Honduras. With the completion of this research, we can supply with a complete, homogeneous and reliable database in Honduras.
