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.

A researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany, has suggested a very simple formula for converting between the relative humidity and the dew point temperature without needing ...

(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 ...

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- You may have noticed that in our broadcasts here on CBS3, we constantly refer to a thing called the "dewpoint" during the summer months. Many have asked "what about the relative ...

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 ...

If you’re looking for a single number that’ll help you best determine whether or not it’s muggy outside, you’ll want to give this a read. On Tuesday afternoon, it was 71 degrees with a 56 degree ...

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 ...

For this week’s Ask Storm Team we will be answering two questions! First up, Tony McDaniel asks, “What is the difference between relative humidity and dew point? Why is dew point important?” Dew point ...

On Saturday, I mentioned the dewpoint. That's the temperature at which the parcel of air you are measuring will become saturated (100 percent relative humidity). The more moisture in the air, the less ...

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 ...
