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 ...

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 ...

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" ...

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 ...

MOLINE, Ill. — You hear us talk about it on a fairly regular basis during the summer months. It's not the heat, it's the humidity! So thick, you could slice it with a knife! The air you can wear, ...

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 ...

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.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — As we head into the spring and summer, meteorologists are going to talk more about humidity and dew point. But, what’s the difference? You might be used to checking the humidity ...

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 ...

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 ...

Humidity can make or break a summer day. A sunny day with a temperature of 85 degrees can feel pleasant when the humidity stays low, but once the humidity cranks up, that same day can become ...
