A dew point in the 60s is sticky, 70s is considered tropical and anything over 80 is potentially dangerous. Expect a sunny streak into the weekend with dew points in the 50s (quite comfortable).

Dew point is the temperature at which the air becomes “saturated” – in other words, it is holding all the water vapor it possibly can. If the temperature and the dew point equal each other, the water ...

There are various ways to measure the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. The amount of moisture a given parcel of air can hold is dependent on the ambient temperature. Higher temperatures mean ...
