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 ...

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 is the temperature at which the air becomes “saturated” – in other words, it is holding all the water vapor it possibly can. If the temperature and the dew point equal each other, the water ...

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 ...

Every summer, I get asked this question: "Why don't you use relative humidity? I don't care about the dew point." The thing is - you should care about the dew point more. The dew point is quite ...
