Relative humidity may be what gets talked about most in forecasts, but dew point is actually a much more useful measure of ...

Not all measurements are created equal when it comes to moisture content in the air around you. Relative humidity may be ...

It really depends on the higher levels of our atmosphere, but a lower dew point is a better starting point for good observing ...

In simpler terms, as the dew point rises, the air can hold more moisture. And more moisture in the air will make the air feel "heavier" and thus more oppressive, especially on an already hot day.

For the first time this season, we are beginning to feel an increase in humidity and it is likely to stick around for a few days. As most of us know, it is not just the temperature that affects how we ...

This occurs when stable, moist air flows over a mountain, creating a series of oscillating waves. If the temperature at the crest of the wave equals the dew point temperature, condensation occurs ...

When warm and moist air blows over a cold surface, the surface cools the air. Once the air temperature cools enough to equal the dew point temperature, condensation forms and creates a blanket ...
