There are three ways to measure relative humidity. Current automated weather systems measure the reflection of a beam of light on a mirror. The mirror is chilled until atmospheric moisture condenses ...
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, ...
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — You see it all the time. The humidity is 100%! So humid! Air you can wear! While that may be true *at times*, it doesn't paint the full picture. When humidity is expressed as a ...
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- You may have noticed that in our broadcasts here on CBS3, we constantly refer to a thing called the "dewpoint" during the summer months. Many have asked "what about the relative ...
“Relative humidity”, in a gross over-simplification, is the amount of moisture present in the air compared to how much moisture COULD be present at a given temperature. True meteorologists will ...
Air pollution is not taken into consideration. Actually, relative humidity is not directly measured. The air temperature and dew point temperature are measured, and the relative humidity is then ...
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — As we head into the spring and summer, meteorologists are going to talk more about humidity and dew point. But, what’s the difference? You might be used to checking the humidity ...
A relative humidity meter can be built using a sensor with a capacitive response and a PIC microcontroller (MCU), as shown in the figure. The capacitance range of the sensor, the HS1101 from Humirel ...
BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - When you watch the KBTX Pinpoint Weather Team forecast a day of weather in the Brazos Valley, you may hear phrases like “95 degrees with 80 percent humidity” used. But what does ...
(WHTM) — When temperatures rise, sometimes the air can feel dry and comfortable. But, sometimes it can feel downright tropical outside. This is caused by moisture in the air and it makes the air ...
If you get your current weather information in the morning, you should know that the morning relative humidity is not a useful indicator of how humid the weather will be today. In fact, the relative ...
We all know that humidity can have an impact on our hair and skin, but a new study from researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Arizona suggests that relative humidity levels ...
