Dew point vs. relative humidity – which is more useful to determine comfort level? Undoubtedly, the answer is the dew point temperature, but it’s not perfect in every instance. Let’s look at relative ...

The dew point is the temperature that the air would have to be cooled to (at constant pressure) in order to reach saturation. As the temperature drops to the dew point, water vapor molecules condense.

This weeks Climate Chronicles question comes from Bill.

(WHTM) — When temperatures rise, sometimes the air can feel dry and comfortable. But, sometimes it can feel downright tropical outside. This is caused by moisture in the air and it makes the air ...

NORFOLK, Va. — Most summer days, you hear us talk about “humidity” when describing how the air feels. While many people are familiar with the term relative humidity — the percentage of water vapor in ...

Dew point is the temperature at which the air becomes “saturated” – in other words, it is holding all the water vapor it possibly can. If the temperature and the dew point equal each other, the water ...

I took a phone call the other day asking why I don’t use the “Relative” Humidity number on my weathercasts like others, but use the Dew Point, instead. Then I wondered if the person on the other end ...

Meteorologists talk plenty about the dew point temperature during the summer, as it is a great indicator of humidity and a condition to watch when severe weather is possible. So what is it? The dew ...
