Meteorologist Paul Douglas answers reader questions about the weather and other natural phenomena every couple of weeks.

A new study has found a significant correlation between "absolute" humidity and influenza virus survival and transmission. When absolute humidity is low -- as in peak flu months of January and ...

Relative humidity has substantially declined in recent decades, defying global warming computer models predicting higher amounts of atmospheric water vapor that will exacerbate global warming. The ...

During weathercasts on Local 12, you've likely heard The Weather Authority use the terms "relative humidity" and "dewpoint." While both of these terms are related to the amount of moisture in the air, ...

A new study has explored the role of relative humidity in the transmission of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) from person to person indoors. The study titled, “An ...

FARGO — Cool fall weather is an excellent time for a further examination of relative humidity. It is common during cool, damp, cloudy weather for the relative humidity to hover around 100%, yet your ...

Industry leaders realized hundreds of years ago that their processes and machines operate best when the indoor relative humidity is maintained at an optimum level for their process. They found it was ...

Relative humidity has been used to describe moisture levels in the atmosphere for so long that it has become the most common (though often misunderstood) moisture measurement. And there is truth to ...

Dew point and relative humidity are related, but dew point communicates how things feel much better. That’s why we use it as the basis for our Muggy Meter we show on TV and online. It’s an absolute ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of the Royal Society, researchers found that indoor relative humidity (RH) modulates the severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreaks, and ...

Models in the HX-772 Series can measure relative humidity from 0% to 100% or absolute humidity from 0 to 200 g/m 3. They can also sense dew point between –40° and 140°F. Using completely sealed ...
