Determination of humidity is one of the most important types of hydrometeorological and glaciological observations performed in agriculture, hydropower and water supply. The work is devoted to the development of physical basis of moisture determination method, based on attenuation of the flux of cosmic-ray muons. The relationship between the intensity of muons registered in the underground room of the Tien Shan mountain research station (Almaty) and relative humidity was studied. The results of studies show that the values of the normalized mutual correlation function between the rows of muon intensity and relative humidity vary from 0.3 to 0.7, depending on the coincidence scheme. The data obtained from the muon telescope located at the the Tien Shan mountain research station was used in the work.
