OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) - The moisture content in the air can be measured in both the relative humidity and the dew point, however, the way they are calculated is very different. The dew point is the ...

Have you ever walked outside and the weather that can only be described as "muggy"? There are times when the humidity in the air becomes sticky and, on occasion, even oppressive. This is where the dew ...

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 ...

I know in Houston, we hear the term humidity which is used to correlate to how muggy it may feel outside. But what actually is humidity and what does it represent? Humidity is the measurement of water ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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.

Dew point/relative humidity questions come up fairly often and this is a good one. Water vapor in the atmosphere is pretty important for deep-sky observing and photography. The atmosphere can only ...

What is the dew point? The dew point is the temperature the air must reach before it can be cooled, at constant pressure, to achieve a relative humidity of 100%, according to the Weather Service. In ...

Humidity can make or break a summer day. A sunny day with a temperature of 85 degrees can feel pleasant when the humidity stays low, but once the humidity cranks up, that same day can become ...
