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.

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” ...

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 ...

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" ...

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 ...

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — As we head into the spring and summer, meteorologists are going to talk more about humidity and dew point. But, what’s the difference? You might be used to checking the humidity ...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) – We are going to talk directly to the weather geeks. Today we look at the difference between dew point and relative humidity. The dew point is basically a simple concept. It is ...

Every summer, I get asked this question: "Why don't you use relative humidity? I don't care about the dew point." The thing is - you should care about the dew point more. The dew point is quite ...

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 ...

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 ...
