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 ...

(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 ...

The dew point is the temperature that the air would have to be cooled to (at constant pressure) in order to reach saturation. As the temperature drops to the dew point, water vapor molecules condense.

why do meteorologists use dew point rather than relative humidity to describe the uncomfortableness or oppressiveness of an air mass? Dew point is the temperature at which the air becomes “saturated” ...

Mike Moss: Relative humidity is not related to temperature and dew point in quite that direct a manner, although they certainly are interdependent quantities. There are some online calculators that ...

Dew point and relative humidity, two terms that have floated around many weather forecasts over the years. What exactly do they mean and when are they best used to describe the conditions outside? Let ...

Meteorologists talk plenty about the dew point temperature during the summer, as it is a great indicator of humidity and a condition to watch when severe weather is possible. So what is it? The dew ...

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Two common weather terms you'll hear many times in the warmer part of the year are "dew point" and "relative humidity". While both relate to moisture in the air and the "stickiness" ...

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 ...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – This time of the year it is especially important that we effectively communicate the amount of moisture in the atmosphere on any given day. There are different ways of doing this, ...

If you’re looking for a single number that’ll help you best determine whether or not it’s muggy outside, you’ll want to give this a read. On Tuesday afternoon, it was 71 degrees with a 56 degree ...

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WHEC) – We are going to talk directly to the weather geeks. Today we look at the difference between dew point and relative humidity. The dew point is basically a simple concept. It is ...
