Let’s first state the obvious. Most techs are intimidated by Psychrometric charts and Mollier diagrams, we just are. While there are some pretty complicated formulas that back up these diagrams, using ...
TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — 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 ...
A researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany, has suggested a very simple formula for converting between the relative humidity and the dew point temperature without needing ...
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 can be calculated using the air temperature and a relative humidity value, which is measured using something called a sling psychrometer. A psychrometer is a metal rod, around 6 inches long, ...
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 ...
For this week’s Ask Storm Team we will be answering two questions! First up, Tony McDaniel asks, “What is the difference between relative humidity and dew point? Why is dew point important?” Dew point ...
It’s not too hard to find the words to describe New Hampshire’s weather over the past few days. Some words come to mind like oppressive, sticky, tropical, clammy and sweaty.Simply put, it’s humid. But ...
