On a calm, clear night, the ground cools very efficiently by radiating heat back into the atmosphere. This lowers the temperature of the air near the ground. By morning, temperatures will most often ...

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 ...

MIKE MOSS SAYS: Myra, There are different ways to represent humidity, such as absolute humidity, specific humidity, relative humidity, and using the dew point as an indicator of absolute humidity. Of ...

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 ...

Industry leaders realized hundreds of years ago that their processes and machines operate best when the indoor relative humidity is maintained at an optimum level for their process. They found it was ...

We know proper indoor ventilation is key to reducing the spread of Covid-19. Now, a study by MIT researchers finds that indoor relative humidity may also influence transmission of the virus. 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 ...
