So flippin' HOT out this week! Weather-guesser says this nonsense about "feels-like" temps: "It's 96* outside, but it "feels like" 108* outside with the humidity and such!"...OK, you overpaid college-graduate, just tell me what the actual, no **** temperature outside is, that is ALL I need to hear! My body will tell me "damn, it's HOT outside!" What it "feels like" is 100% irrelevant!!! A "feels-like" temperature is meaningless.

One of these days, I'd like to hear the following conversation between Suzie, the hot blonde reporterette and the highly-trained weather-guesser Jim:

HBR: "Gosh, Jim, it's sooo hot out! When is it going to cool off?"

H-TWG: "It's July, you simpering, whiny little bimbo! It's ALWAYS hot in July! The calendar says Fall occurs in September, like every year for eons now. It cools down then, and not before. You'll perhaps recognize Fall when the leaves on those trees start turning colors, then brown and then fall to the ground. After that, Winter has arrived, and Santa might bring you a brain to stick in that vacuous chasm of a skull you carry on your shoulders! Then, you'll be asking me "Hey Jim, it's soooo cold outside! When is it gonna warm up?"...And then, we'll have the same conversation we are having now, except I'll be explaining the concepts of Spring and Summer to you to explain when and why it'll warm up again! Now, move your butt before I shove your pretty little head through the green screen! Got it?"

HBR: "Huh? What did you say, I was distracted by the shiny objects above us!"

H-TWG: "Those are the studio lights, you brain-dead twit!"

People complain around here about the heat and I say "Yeah, you would think its mid-summer in Alabama or something."

Sometimes they laugh, but mostly they give me the deer-in-headlights look.
 
WTF is "Dewpoint"?
Give me
1. The actual efn temperature right efn now, and...
2. The Gee Dee efn humidity.

My brain can do the rest thank you very much you bombastic overpaid twit.
 
Dewpoint is where the humidity percentage is derived from. When the dewpoint and the actual ambient temperature are the same, you have 100% humidity. Water vapor condenses into water at this temperature. The dewpoint temperature can never be higher than the actual temperature. In a literal sense, it is the temperature where dew forms on a solid surface. In the air, it forms clouds or fog.

I've lived in OK for many years now. It's just **** we know.

The dew point temp. is actually a better indication of how muggy it feels than the humidity percentage is.
 
I said I don't need nor want the damn dew point.
And then I get a dozen 8 X 10 glossies with arrows and circles drawn on them and a paragraph on the back that tell me about dew point....
 
Knowing the dewpoint and the temperature together actually gives one a better indicator of the outside temperature "effect" than knowing the humidity.
 
Without knowing the temperature and dew point, you do not know the humidity. Anyone with a brain can tell humid by feel; but if you want a number, it is the ambient air temperature AND the dew point that determines WHAT the actual humidity number IS.

Patrick, you are sounding like Ross expounding on the anything old is obsolete while being unable to post a picture correctly.
It is like temperature. I don't want a heat index. WTF? A thermometer is going obsolete because we're switching to heat-indexometers???

I do not agree with "heat index" or "wind chill" nonsense. Just tell me the temperature, and I can figure out the rest. But I'm explaining how the humidity number is arrived at. Dew point is part of the calculation.
 
every time i turn on the weather channel they never show the weather, it's always some stupid show
 
Dewpoint is important to pilots. If the dewpoint temp is close to the air temp there is a risk of ice forming on the wings at altitude and thats a bad thing. RH is useless in that application.

Dewpoint temperature is also important to us in the north that rely on compressed instrument air. If the dewpoint is allowed to get above the ambient air temp then stuff will freeze off. Most plants use air dryers to get the dewpoint down to around -60 deg.

Dewpoint temp is important to those who ship natural gas down a pipeline.

Dewpoint temperature is not overly important to folks watching tv in Florida.
