The purpose of this research is to present a method based on global and experimental algorithms for estimating relative humidity in Sistan and Baluchestan province. For this purpose, Terra MODIS images and products (MOD05, MOD07) of 10-years (1-Jan-2009 to 31-Des-2018) under cloudless conditions were used as selected data. To validate the obtained layers (near ground surface temperature, ground surface pressure, total perceptible water, TPW, and relative humidity), the ground station and the radio sound data were used. The R2 and REMS values of the recorded layers from the sensor and the ground data were acceptable and the sensed data were in good agreement with ground station measurements. Results show that the altitude factor play an important role in temperature measurement. The minimum amount of TPW has been recorded to be 6 mm in the Khash, Mir Java and Saravan regions in the cold season and the maximum amount of TPW has been recorded to be 49 mm in the coastal areas in the warm season. The average relative humidity in the province is in equilibrium in the cold season, while it is out of equilibrium in the hot season, so that it is above 60% on the coast of Oman and less than 10% in the central province (Khash, Mir Java and Zahedan).
