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 ...

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 ...

In the simplest terms, humidity is a natural occurrence of water vapor in the air. It plays a big part in how clouds are made ...

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 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 ...

I've long wondered whether dew point or relative humidity is more important for good seeing. Which would be better: a cool night with lower dew point but higher humidity, or a warm night with higher ...

Surprisingly, yes, the condition is known as supersaturation. At any given temperature and air pressure, a specific maximum amount of water vapor in the air will produce a relative humidity (RH) of ...
