Before you step outside, you may want to know how humid, or "sticky" it feels. That comes down to knowing the dew point. Dew point is more commonly discussed in the summertime and is a good measure of ...
The dew point temperature (or simple dew point) is the air temperature at which the air is totally saturated with water vapor. Let’s take it step by step. As air is heated, its ability to hold water ...
Maybe you have heard it said that it is not the heat, but the humidity that makes it so darn hot. Actually, it is the dewpoint or the measure of the amount of moisture in the air that makes it feel so ...
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 ...
There are various ways to measure the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. The amount of moisture a given parcel of air can hold is dependent on the ambient temperature. Higher temperatures mean ...
July wasn’t an extremely hot month, but it was very muggy. Most Michigan cities had a Top 10 muggiest July. One city had its second muggiest July on record. To rank mugginess, we need to look at the ...
We have one weather system we can bank on to lower the humidity. That weather system is in our sights, but quite far out in time. Remember, the dew point temperature is the best way to gauge if us ...
The dew point is the temperature the air needs to be cooled to in order to achieve a relative humidity (RH) of 100%. The higher the dew point rises, the greater the amount of moisture in the air.
The dew point temperature is measured using a Buck research 1011C chilled mirror hygrometer and is a base measurement available on all King Air deployments. Chilled mirror operating principles are ...
