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.

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 ...

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 ...

Studies of seasonal influenza have long found indications that flu spreads better in dry air. Now, new research being published Tuesday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, indicates ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The hygrometer is the instrument that measures relative humidity, the humidity is relative to the air temperature. This can confuse people because if you hold the ACTUAL water vapor constant but heat ...

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 ...

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 ...
