How can relative humidity and dew point be used to predict the weather?

Relative humidity expresses a percentage of humidity in the air to the maximum amount of humidity that could be in the air.
For example: when the temperature rises the air will be able to hold much more humidity so the relative humidity will drop.

Nothing - the dew point depends on the moisture content of the air.

What type of weather is likely to occur when relative humidity reaches 100 percent?
When the relative humidity reaches 100%, the dew point and air temperature are exactly the same and the weather is extremely humid and it is possible that it will be raining
What is the relative humidity air that has reached its dew point?
100%
When the temperature equals the dew point what is the relative humidity?
100%
What is the difference between relative humidity and dew point temperature?
relative humidity is the AMOUNT of water in the air. Dew Point is the TEMPERATURE at which the water vapor in the air is turned into liquid water.
What is the dew-point when the dry bulb temperature is 20C and the relative humidity is 17?
at 17% relative humidity the dew point is -5.8C at a dry bulb of 20C
What type of weather is likely to occur when relative humidity reaches 100 percent?
When the relative humidity reaches 100%, the dew point and air temperature are exactly the same and the weather is extremely humid and it is possible that it will be raining
What are the five weather variables that are collected by weather service computers in order to predict weather patterns?
Temperature, barometric pressure, wind speed and direction, precipitation, and humidity and dew point.
What does the relative humidity have to be far a cloud to form?
When the relative humidity and dew point temperature are the same they form clouds.
What is the relative humidity when the air is at its dew point?
100%
What is the relative humidity air that has reached its dew point?
100%
When the temperature equals the dew point what is the relative humidity?
100%
What is relative humidity when the air temperature is at its dew point?
It is 100%.
When the temperatures equals the dew point what is the relative humidity?
100%
What is the relative humidity when the air temperature is at its dew point?
It is 100%.
Why do New England weather reports only mention dew points and Florida weather reports only mention relative humidity?
I really don't think that's the convention for these regions - I think most places usually mention relative humidity. Dew point tends to be a more useful metric, especially for comfort in the summer.
What is the difference between relative humidity and dew point temperature?
relative humidity is the AMOUNT of water in the air. Dew Point is the TEMPERATURE at which the water vapor in the air is turned into liquid water.
Can there be relative humidity when the temperature is well below the freezing point?
Yes. Below the freezing point the relative humidity will indicate how close the moisture in the air is to depositing and forming frost or snow.
