INFORMATION ON HUMIDITY

Dew point is the temperature at which a parcel of air reaches its saturation point and can no longer
hold water in the vapor state. When the dew point falls below freezing it is called the frost point.
This is the point at which water vapor no longer
creates dew, but instead creates frost.

Dew point formula:

This formula will give you a good approximation
of Dew Point.
Dew point =Air temp -

Dew points above 70 F are very uncomfortable.

Dew points between 60 F and 70 F are sticky.

Dew points between 50 F and 60 F are
comfortable.

Dew points below 50 F feel dry.

Dew Point Chart:

The Heat Index combines air temperature and relative humidity for an apparent temperature feeling
on the human body.

If the heat index is 80 F-90 F fatigue is possible
with prolonged exposure and activity.

If the heat index is 89 F-105 F sunstroke, heat
cramps, and heat exhaustion are possible.

If the heat index is 105 F-130 F sunstroke, heat
cramps, and heat exhaustion are likely.

If the heat index is over 130 F heat stroke, and
sunstroke are very likely with continued activity.
