Are Humidity and Dew Point the Same?

Hey there! Have you ever wondered if humidity and dew point are the same thing? Well, they're related but not the same. Let's explore this in a way that's easy to understand.

What is Humidity?

Humidity is all about water vapor in the air. Think of it like an invisible water cloud floating around us. The more water vapor there is, the more humid it feels. You know those hot, sticky days in summer? That's high humidity!

Understanding Dew Point

Now, let's talk about dew point. This is the temperature at which air gets so full of water vapor that it can't hold anymore. When the air reaches this point, water condenses and forms dew. That's why it's called the dew point. It's like when your cold drink glass gets all sweaty on a hot day.

The Key Differences

So, what makes them different? Humidity measures how much water vapor is in the air, while dew point is about the temperature where water vapor turns into dew. High humidity means a lot of water vapor in the air. A high dew point means the air is close to getting full of water vapor.

Why It Matters

Understanding humidity and dew point helps us know how the weather will feel. High humidity and a high dew point can make it feel really muggy and uncomfortable. Weather forecasts use these to help us plan our day, like wearing shorts or carrying an umbrella.

In Conclusion

Remember, humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air, and dew point is the temperature where this vapor turns into dew. They work together to make our weather hot, cold, sticky, or dry. So next time you hear about humidity or dew point, you'll know they're not the same, but they're part of the same weather story!

The Real Butterfly Effect

The butterfly effect -- that the flapping of a butterfly's wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas -- expresses the sensitivity of a chaotic system to initial conditions. In essence, because we can't possibly track every butterfly in Brazil, we'll never perfectly predict tornadoes in Texas, even if the equations behind our weather forecast are deterministic.

Hurricane Beryl hits 150 mph near Carriacou in Windward Islands

Storm surge is a killer in hurricanes but can be avoided FOX Weather hurricane specialist Bryan Norcross explains why storm surge can be higher on the west coast of Florida than the east coast. Hurricane Beryl strafed the tiny Windward Islands on Monday, July 1, in a riot of 150-mph winds as storm experts watched […]

It's September 16th, 🇺🇳 International Ozone Preservation Day. On this day in 1987, the United Nations sponsored the 🇨🇦 Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. This annual observance highlights the threats to our atmosphere's ozone layer, its relationship with climate change, and the steps we can all take to protect it from further damage.

In 1913, 🇫🇷 French physicists Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson discovered the ozone layer while measuring the Sun's radiation. Later research revealed that this fragile layer of ozone gas in our atmosphere protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays, thus helping to preserve life on our planet.

In the late 1970s, scientists realized that human activity was destroying the ozone layer. They discovered a hole that was caused by ozone-depleting gases often found in air conditioners and refrigerators. Evidence of this ozone depletion manifested itself in many ways, including destruction of plants and ecosystems and increased incidences of skin cancer.

The international community rose to the occasion. In 1985, the United Nations adopted a formal declaration, the 🇦🇹 Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, and then two years later put the Montreal Protocol into effect. Thanks to these successful efforts, the ozone layer is now healing. On September 16th, 2009, the Vienna Convention and the Montreal Protocol became the first United Nations treaties in history to achieve universal ratification. You see, we can work together. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Hole Punch Clouds

At times altocumulus cloud cover is pierced by circular or elongated holes, filled only with the wispiest of virga. These odd holes are known by many names: cavum, fallstreak holes, and hole punch clouds.  (Image credit: M. Garrison; research credit: A. Heymsfield et al. 2010 and A.

Without oceans and the atmosphere, Earth’s temperatures would be like the moon’s, which drop by hundreds of degrees after sunset. Winds on Earth carry warm air towards the poles and cool air towards the equator. Ocean-top currents carry warm water towards the poles and underwater currents carry cool water towards the Equator.

September 2019 climate ⛅️ strikes. Also known as the Global Week for Future, climate strikes across the world spanning the week of the United Nations Climate Summit are likely to be the largest climate strikes in world 🌍 🌎 history. . More than 4 million people across the world are part of protests to demand leaders of the world to take action to address climate change. . Recent scientific data shows that atmospheric carbon dioxide levels have been increasing in recent history (bottom right). . On the other hand, atmospheric gases trapped in Antarctic and Greenland ice core samples provide key insights into the relationship between carbon dioxide levels and global temperatures to hundreds of thousands of years ago. . Along with isotopic carbon levels, the combined data reveals that burning of fossil fuels is primarily responsible for the current climate change. .
