The chart below shows various weather stations with their reported temperatures and dew points. Where the numbers are close, the relative humidity is high, when the two are far apart the relative ...

The dew point typically changes much more slowly compared to relative humidity, unless a front is passing through or precipitation starts to fall in a dry air mass.

To convert between the dew point and relative humidity, several approximations have been proposed over the last 200 years, but they all require a calculator or mathematical tables, and most ...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) – We are going to talk directly to the weather geeks. Today we look at the difference between dew point and relative humidity. The dew point is basically a simple concept ...

Dew point and humidity are related, but different. Here's what dew point actually is and why it is a better indicator of what it feels like outside.

I took a phone call the other day asking why I don’t use the “Relative” Humidity number on my weathercasts like others, but use the Dew Point, instead. Then I wondered if the person on the ...

The First Warning weather team often refers to dew point and humidity. Most people know these terms have something to do with moisture, but a lot of people don’t really understand the terms ...

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.

Relative humidity and dew point are often mistaken for the same thing and can be sources of confusion.

The lower the dew point, the more comfortable it is outdoors. For example, when dew points are in the 50s and low 60s, it is a bit more comfortable because there is less humidity in the air.
