We’ve recently received several reader requests asking us how to calculate relative humidity if the temperature and dew point are known. Relative humidity is the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of ...

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 ...

Relative humidity and dew point both give us an idea of the amount of moisture in the atmosphere; however, only dew point is a true measurement of the atmospheric moisture. Relative humidity is ...

There are various ways to measure the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. The amount of moisture a given parcel of air can hold is dependent on the ambient temperature. Higher temperatures mean ...

DENVER (CBS4) - We received a great question this morning from CBS4 viewer Fletcher. He writes... "It is 13 degrees outside and the humidity is 88%. Why isn't it snowing? The atmosphere is pretty well ...

Checking the temperature reading during a heat wave won’t tell the whole sweltering story. It’s going to feel a lot hotter. Blame the heat index, also called “apparent temperature.” It’s a combination ...
