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 ...

Dew point can be calculated using the air temperature and a relative humidity value, which is measured using something called a sling psychrometer. A psychrometer is a metal rod, around 6 inches long, ...

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 ...

Engineers now have two multifunctional transmitters at their fingertips for measuring relative humidity and temperature. The HT737 is a digital unit that measures ...

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) – There might not be a more misunderstood phrase in meteorology than “relative humidity.” Every summer when humidity returns, this phrase echoes across the United States: “It ...

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 ...
