How Do You Calculate Dew Point, Temperature And Relative Humidity?
Temperature, relative humidity and dew point are all related to one another. Temperature is the measure of the energy in the air, relative humidity is the measure of water vapor in the air, and the dew point is the temperature at which the water vapor in the air will begin to condense into liquid water (reference 1). Determining the three values starts with some simple temperature measurements. From there, you will need to consult various charts to calculate the relative humidity and dew point. Bring your materials outside at the time when you want to determine the temperature, relative humidity and dew point. Let them sit for five minutes so that your water takes on the temperature of the surrounding air. Dip the small section of paper towel into your water and wring it out so that it is damp but not dripping wet. Wrap the moist paper towel around the metal bulb of one of the thermometers. This will now be called the wet bulb. The thermometer without the paper towel wrapped around its
