PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Many people around Pittsburgh are used to using "relative humidity" to determine how muggy it may, or may not, feel. Using relative humidity is not the best way to do it. While ...

When it comes to the temperature inside your home, you probably have a decent idea of how warm or cool you need it to be in order to be comfortable, and based on your energy costs, what you can afford ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

A researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany, has suggested a very simple formula for converting between the relative humidity and the dew point temperature without needing ...

There are three ways to measure relative humidity. Current automated weather systems measure the reflection of a beam of light on a mirror. The mirror is chilled until atmospheric moisture condenses ...
