When our Storm Track 8 Weather Team talks about muggy conditions, they usually refer to the dew point rather than humidity.

Put simply, the dew point is the temperature the air needs to cool to to become fully saturated. On any given day, there is a certain amount of humidity or water vapor in the air.

Dew point temperature, a number that becomes very important when the summer months roll around. Why is that? Well, the dew point gives you an idea of how much water vapor is in the air. In other ...

The iTHX-SD transmitter lets users view virtual charts and record temperature, relative humidity, and dew point over an Ethernet network or the Internet with no special software. The iTHX-SD ...

The dew point temperature (or simple dew point) is the air temperature at which the air is totally saturated with water vapor. Let’s take it step by step. As air is heated, its ability to hold ...

As of noon, the heat index, with a dew point of 80 degrees and temperature of 94 degrees, reached 114. That's the highest index number since July 30, 1999, according to the National Weather Service.

When air reaches the dew point temperature, it is said to be saturated with respect to water vapor over a liquid surface. When temperature equals dew point, we can then say that relative humidity ...

Similarly, when the air temperature cools to the dew point, moisture condenses out of the air, forming dew on surfaces like grass, cars, and even your windows.

Dear Tom, How do dew points and humidity levels work in subzero temperatures? — Sarah Tammen-Gruber, Essex, Ill. Dear Sarah, The dew point is the temperature to which air much be cooled for it ...

Usually most Michiganders feel the mugginess when the dew point temperature is 65 degrees or higher. A dew point of 70 degrees or more is certainly uncomfortable even for the humid-weather lovers.
