Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
5.

Explain how temperature changes influence the dew point and relative humidity.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
6.

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
7.

If the air temperature is $18^\circ C$ and the dew point is $17^\circ C$, what is the relative humidity, and what type of weather would be expected?

Asemmisa {{asɛmmisaAhyɛnsode}}
8.

Explain why the proximity of the dew point and air temperature is a better indicator of precipitation likelihood than air pressure alone.
