Maybe you have heard it said that it is not the heat, but the humidity that makes it so darn hot. Actually, it is the dewpoint or the measure of the amount of moisture in the air that makes it feel so ...
You may notice that dew points are measured in degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is measured on a percentage basis. That is because dew points are the temperature that the air needs to be cooled in ...
Dew formation is a natural process in which water vapour condenses on cool surfaces, typically during clear, calm nights when radiative cooling lowers surface temperatures below the dew point. This ...
How does dew form? That’s an age-old question from Phil. Dew forms on grass when the grass gets colder than the dew point temperature. Grass gets cold because during the night the grass and ...
How does dew form? An age old question from Roger. Dew forms on grass when the grass gets colder than the dew point temperature. Grass gets cold because during the night the grass and surrounding soil ...
The short answer is both terms are different and describe different things about moisture in the air. The dew point is another temperature value. It is the temperature air needs to cool to become ...
As we head into the summer months when we start to show you the Muggy Meter more often, it's helpful to discuss what feels humid and what feels nice. We have set up our Muggy Meter to show you dew ...
