[QUOTE="JMN, post: 299040, member: 8469"] You havd two numbers conflated. The air temperature. This one I know you got. The dewpoint. [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point[/URL] At the dewpoint and above water vaper condenses into water. This is a central part of measuring humidity. In the summer when the dewpoint is very high so the air is more of an insulator and does a terrible jobof carryin away your body heat with a breeze. Tjis is high humidity. You want the dewpoint low as you can so that water vapor will turn to water condensaton and runs into the water release points. The lower the dewpoint the more water the air will release and the less will remain in the airsystem. No matter the actual temp the dew point being 10 deg lower in one system will release more than in a duplicate system with a higher dewpoint. If that doesn't make enough sense still, please ask again. [/QUOTE]
