Hi Guys Does a low due point, say - 6C equate to low humidity being prevalent. The reason for my question is actually to find a method of choosing the right wax for the conditions without buying a device for temp and relative humidity If there is a more reliable way to ascertain humidity from the forecasting data please let me know. (Knowing my luck there will be a relative humidity reading somewhere- yes I am newbie at this) Thanks for your help
Its more the difference between the dew point and the acual temperature that indicates how humid it is. If the dew point is -6C yet the actual temperature is around 0 thats about 60% humidity, starting to get dryish. However if the actual temperature is -5C with the same dew point then the humidity would be around %91. If you want to work it out for yourself heres a calculator .
Yeah as Alex has siad, it doesnt' matter how low the dew point gets, this does not lead to low humidity, its the difference between the due point and real temperature and the formula is.. If you have the dew and real temperatures you just get the mixing ratios from these and then do the calculation: actual mixing ratio(corresponding to dew point)/ saturated mixing ratio(corresponing to real temp) = humidity
