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 ...

(WLUK) -- As summer approaches, understanding the dew point can help you prepare for those often muggy days. Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture, meaning it can't ...

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 ...

I know in Houston, we hear the term humidity which is used to correlate to how muggy it may feel outside. But what actually is humidity and what does it represent? Humidity is the measurement of water ...

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Two common weather terms you'll hear many times in the warmer part of the year are "dew point" and "relative humidity". While both relate to moisture in the air and the "stickiness" ...

It’s that time of year when the lexicon of the meteorologist regularly includes the phrase dew point. This concept is often confused with relative humidity which doesn’t tell us anything about how you ...

There are multiple ways to describe how wet the air is (yes, pretty much all air is wet). What I mean by that is there are water molecules tucked in between the gases like nitrogen and oxygen that ...

Why do meteorologists like to use dew points so much instead of relative humidity? It's because it measures the true moisture content in the atmosphere. Do you ever wonder why meteorologists always ...

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Summertime heat is on the way, along with muggy conditions. Meteorologist Adam Rutt explains why we focus on the dew point to talk about humidity. We’ve had a little taste ...

Relative humidity measures how much moisture is in the air compared to how much it could hold at a given temperature. It is simply the dew point temperature divided by the air temperature, times 100.

North Carolina can expect to see more of its rainfall in shorter but heavier bursts, Accuweathr says.
