My high school had a weather station on the roof so earth-science students could make measurements each morning. We climbed up a ladder in the janitor's closet, went through a hatch and out onto the ...

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 ...

INDIANAPOLIS — Despite how it sounds, relative humidity isn’t a great measure of how humid it feels outside. That’s why, when it’s muggy, meteorologists talk about dew point temperature instead.

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 ...

Of all common environmental parameters, humidity is perhaps the least understood and most difficult to measure. The most common electronic humidity detection methods, albeit highly accurate, are not ...

Relative humidity has been used to describe moisture levels in the atmosphere for so long that it has become the most common (though often misunderstood) moisture measurement. And there is truth to ...

Meteorologists are clarifying the difference between dew point and relative humidity as parts of the Southeast brace for a warm, sticky weekend with scattered showers. Dew point measures the actual ...

Humidity - arguably the most important factor in deciphering how pleasant a day will be. We all know 90 degrees with high humidity and 90 degrees with no humidity is a different ball game. The ...

Our meteorologist answers your deepest weather questions.

Wondering what humidity is comfortable? While we often give a great deal of thought to heating our homes in the winter and cooling them down in the summer, we may not realize just how crucial ...
