Mike Moss: Relative humidity is not related to temperature and dew point in quite that direct a manner, although they certainly are interdependent quantities. There are some online calculators that ...

You may have heard of dehumidifiers, which are machines that help reduce the humidity in your home, but what is relative humidity? And why does it matter for you? There are some confusing terms that ...

The short answer is both terms are different and describe different things about moisture in the air. The dew point is another temperature value. It is the temperature air needs to cool to become ...

When referring to the mugginess of the air, meteorologists will point to dew point rather than relative humidity. Relative humidity is indeed a measure of how much moisture is in the air relative to ...

There are various ways to measure the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. The amount of moisture a given parcel of air can hold is dependent on the ambient temperature. Higher temperatures mean ...

Dew point and relative humidity, two terms that have floated around many weather forecasts over the years. What exactly do they mean and when are they best used to describe the conditions outside? Let ...

(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 ...

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 ...

The concept of zero percent relative humidity — air completely devoid of water vapor — is intriguing, but given Earth’s climate and weather conditions, it’s an impossibility. Water vapor is always ...

Dew point/relative humidity questions come up fairly often and this is a good one. Water vapor in the atmosphere is pretty important for deep-sky observing and photography. The atmosphere can only ...
