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 ...

Grandma may have been right about keeping a teakettle warming on the stove in winter to moisten the air. Studies of seasonal influenza have long found indications that flu spreads better in dry air.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

MIKE MOSS SAYS: Myra, There are different ways to represent humidity, such as absolute humidity, specific humidity, relative humidity, and using the dew point as an indicator of absolute humidity. Of ...

When you watch your First Alert Forecast, you may hear the meteorologist reference the dew point temperature in reference to how humid or how comfortable the air might feel to you. Viewers have asked ...

There is probably no weather element so poorly understood as humidity. Actually, we understand humidity when we feel sticky. But most people do not understand how humidity is quantified. Humidity is ...

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 ...

The relationship between relative humidity when cold air from outside is brought into a heated plant, office or home and wood is rather straightforward. I firmly believe that woodworkers should be ...
