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, ...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

We all know that humidity can have an impact on our hair and skin, but a new study from researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the University of Arizona suggests that relative humidity levels ...

An AC bridge circuit can be used to measure the unknown capacitance of a sensor, such as a relative humidity (RH) sensor. Some RH sensors have a transfer function of capacitance vs %RH. Usually the ...

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 ...

Across much of the world, hotter days are no longer arriving alone. The air itself is changing, sometimes turning from dry ...

This resource is suitable for weather topics for primary school learners. Have you ever felt hot and sweaty even when you haven't done any exercise? That might be because of humidity. But what is ...
