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.

Dew point vs. relative humidity – which is more useful to determine comfort level? Undoubtedly, the answer is the dew point temperature, but it’s not perfect in every instance. Let’s look at relative ...

Relative humidity and dew point are often mistaken for the same thing and can be sources of confusion. But what are the differences between the two, and which is more relevant in everyday life?

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 ...

Editor’s note: The KOIN 6 Weather team is presenting weather and science lessons to help serve our teachers and students. Click here for more lessons. PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – I would like to preface ...

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 ...

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 ...

Dew point and relative humidity, two terms that have floated around many weather forecasts over the years. What exactly do they mean and when are they best used to describe the conditions outside? Let ...

FARGO — Cool fall weather is an excellent time for a further examination of relative humidity. It is common during cool, damp, cloudy weather for the relative humidity to hover around 100%, yet your ...

Breaking up is hard to do, especially when you've been going steady for so long. But enough is enough. It's time to split up with the "relative humidity." Time to move on to something better, like the ...

why do meteorologists use dew point rather than relative humidity to describe the uncomfortableness or oppressiveness of an air mass? Dew point is the temperature at which the air becomes “saturated” ...

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" ...
