Detailed explanation-1: -Increased humidity has a reduces transpiration. The lower the humidity the easier it is for the plant to release water. The type of plant is also a factor in how much a plant will transpire. For example plants grow in arid hot areas such as the desert will transpire less as they aim to conserve water.

Detailed explanation-2: -2.3. Transpiration is a process that involves loss of water vapour through the stomata of plants. The loss of water vapour from the plant cools the plant down when the weather is very hot, and water from the stem and roots moves upwards or is ‘pulled’ into the leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Temperature-as temperature increases, so does the rate of transpiration. The lower the temperatures, the lower the transpiration rate. Guard cells tend to close the stomata in windy conditions to prevent that. Wind-generates more water loss because they lead to higher evaporation rates.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are 4 factors which affect transpiration: Temperature, Light intensity, Humidity and Wind speed.As the temperature increases, the rate of evaporation and diffusion increases as the particles have more energy.
