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 ...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) – We are going to talk directly to the weather geeks. Today we look at the difference between dew point and relative humidity. The dew point is basically a simple concept. It is ...

Fog can form when the humidity is less than 100 percent, but it generally is in the range of 95 to 100 percent when fog is present. Occasionally, though rarely, the relative humidity will be 100 ...

Dew point, a direct measure of atmospheric moisture, is a much better indicator of discomfort than relative humidity. It is a conservative feature, meaning it remains reasonably constant during the ...

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.

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — The First Warning weather team often refers to dew point and humidity. Most people know these terms have something to do with moisture, but a lot of people don’t really ...

After the stretch of humid conditions that we have experienced lately, you probably saw the StormTracker 6 Weather Team showing dew point temperatures. It is easy to think that looking at the relative ...

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — You see it all the time. The humidity is 100%! So humid! Air you can wear! While that may be true *at times*, it doesn't paint the full picture. When humidity is expressed as a ...

Relative humidity and dew point are often mistaken for the same thing and can be sources of confusion. But what are the differences between the two, and which is more relevant in everyday life?

While can help explain how dry or humid it feels, relative humidity is what most us think when it comes to describing, well, humidity. Relative humidity describes how saturated the air is near the ...

Relative humidity and dew point both give us an idea of the amount of moisture in the atmosphere; however, only dew point is a true measurement of the atmospheric moisture. Relative humidity is ...

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 ...
