Higher dew points can mean misery. Parts of the United States have gotten an early taste of summer weather, as temperatures and humidity are on the rise. Summer can start to feel particularly sticky ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Humidity has a big impact on a forecast, and the dew point is a great way to measure how it will feel outside. Unlike relative humidity, which changes with the temperature ...

Four factors affect the distance an object will travel though the air: temperature, air pressure, dew point temperature (or water vapor content), and wind. The density of air decreases as temperature ...

It’s a hot summer day and you hear someone say, “The relative humidity is 80%!” They’re probably correct, but relative humidity is just not a good way to measure how muggy the air “feels” to our ...
