humidity

     

Humiity is the amount of water vapor in the air. The term "humidity" is usually taken in daily language to refer to relative humidity. Relative humidity is defined as the amount of water vapor in a sample of air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at any specific temperature in a form of 0 to 100%. Humidity may also be expressed as absolute humidity and specific humidity. Relative humidity is an important metric used in forecasting weather. Humidity indicates the likelihood of precipitation, dew, or fog. High humidity makes people feel hotter outside in the summer because it reduces the effectiveness of sweating to cool the body by preventing the evaporation of perspiration from the skin. This effect is calculated in a heat index table. Warm water vapor has more thermal energy than cool water vapor and therefore more of it evaporates into warm air than into cold air.

Trivia about humidity

  • Travel is murder on hair: local water & levels of this, not the heat, can destroy even a perfect hair-care regimen
  • When it's muggy, "it's not the heat, it's" this, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere
  • In Death Valley it's the heat, not this, as this averages less than 5%
  • For small bats to hibernate, this weather condition has to be above 90% or their wings will dry out
  • Term for the moisture of the air, it's given in relative terms in forecasts
  • If the temperature is 90 degrees & this figure is 80 percent, the heat index rises to 113 degrees
  • The sling psychrometer & hair hygrometer are used to determine the relative amount of this
  • Measured with a hygrometer, it causes discomfort at high readings because sweat can't escape into the air
  • This is defined as the amount of water vapor in the air
  • In Houston in the summer, this averages over 90% for the morning
