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 ...
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 ...

Relative humidity measures how much moisture is in the air compared to how much it could hold at a given temperature. It is simply the dew point temperature divided by the air temperature, times 100.
I've long wondered whether dew point or relative humidity is more important for good seeing. Which would be better: a cool night with lower dew point but higher humidity, or a warm night with higher ...
(WLUK) -- As summer approaches, understanding the dew point can help you prepare for those often muggy days. Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture, meaning it can't ...
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 ...
There are multiple ways to describe how wet the air is (yes, pretty much all air is wet). What I mean by that is there are water molecules tucked in between the gases like nitrogen and oxygen that ...
