On a calm, clear night, the ground cools very efficiently by radiating heat back into the atmosphere. This lowers the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Professor of Atmospheric Sciences, Climate Change Research Centre, UNSW Sydney Has Sydney felt more like Cairns lately? You’re not imagining it – millions of Australians up and down the east coast ...

A low-power, compact, RH and temperature sensor eases the challenges associated with accurately, reliably, and consistently measuring these important environmental parameters. Features of the new TI ...

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 ...
