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 ...

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” ...

Going on a run and curious about how muggy it's going to be out? Maddie Sofia chats with producer Thomas Lu about relative humidity and why some meteorologists are telling us to pay more attention to ...
