Noel Kirkpatrick is an editor and writer based in Tacoma, Washington. He covers many topics, including animals, science, and the environment. Complaining about the humidity is a go-to conversation ...

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 ...

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 ...

It’s not too hard to find the words to describe New Hampshire’s weather over the past few days. Some words come to mind like oppressive, sticky, tropical, clammy and sweaty.Simply put, it’s humid. But ...

This week, there has been lots of discussion regarding the dew point and how it relates to humidity. While most of us have probably heard of the dew point, do you actually know what it is?

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 ...

Higher dew points can mean misery. Parts of the United States have gotten an early taste of summer weather, as temperatures and humidity are on the rise. Summer can start to feel particularly sticky ...

The dew point is the temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor, which is the gaseous state of water. When air has reached the dew-point temperature at a particular pressure, the water ...

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 ...
