Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Humidity, Temperature, Atmospheric pressure, Wind speed or velocity.
Detailed explanation-2: -How does wind speed affect transpiration? Wind speed affects transpiration when it increases the water movement on the lead surface. High winds increase water evaporation, and thus the plant may choose to transpire less (close its stomata) during windy conditions, to preserve water.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transpiration is more when the wind is blowing faster as the water evaporates faster from the leaves. High wind velocity favours transpiration.
