  2. Humidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity

    It does not take temperature into consideration. Absolute humidity in the atmosphere ranges from near zero to roughly 30 g (1.1 oz) per cubic metre when the air is saturated at 30 °C (86 °F). [8] [9] Air is a gas, and its volume varies with pressure and temperature, per Boyles law. Absolute humidity is defined as water mass per volume of air ...

  3. Climate of Texas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Texas

    The Northern Plains' climate is semi-arid and is prone to drought, annually receiving between 16 and 32 inches (410 and 810 mm) of precipitation, and average annual snowfall ranging between 15 and 30 inches (380 and 760 mm), with the greatest snowfall amounts occurring in the Texas panhandle and areas near the border with New Mexico.

  4. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    The word hygroscopy (/ h aɪ ˈ ɡ r ɒ s k ə p i /) uses combining forms of hygro-(for moisture or humidity) and -scopy. Unlike any other -scopy word, it no longer refers to a viewing or imaging mode. It did begin that way, with the word hygroscope referring in the 1790s to measuring devices for humidity level. These hygroscopes used ...

  5. Climate of Houston - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Houston

    The coldest weather of the season often includes temperatures in the low 30s to mid-40s at night. Hard freezes are not uncommon in North Houston; George Bush Intercontinental Airport has recorded at least one freeze every winter since it opened in 1969, except for 2023, when the lowest was 33 degrees.

  6. Humid subtropical climate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humid_subtropical_climate

    A humid subtropical climate is a subtropical-temperate climate type, characterized by long and hot summers, and cool to mild winters. These climates normally lie on the southeast side of all continents (except Antarctica), generally between latitudes 25° and 40° and are located poleward from adjacent tropical climates, and equatorward from either humid continental (in North America and Asia ...

  7. Vapor barrier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_barrier

    In humid regions where warm-weather cooling predominates within buildings, the vapor barrier should be located toward the exterior side of insulation. In relatively mild or balanced climates, or where assemblies are designed to minimize condensation conditions, a vapor barrier may not be necessary at all.

  8. Samara - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samara

    Samara's humidity levels are higher in the summer than many Russian cities thanks to the precipitation levels and the close proximity to the Volga. The humidity levels usually range from 29% to 98% humidity over the period of a year. There was a record high of +40.4 °C (104.7 °F) during a severe heat wave. Being far inland, summers are very ...

  9. Potato paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_paradox

    Middle: 1 kg matter, 49 kg water (98% water). If the potatoes are 99% water, the dry mass is 1%. This means that the 100 kg of potatoes contains 1 kg of dry mass, which does not change, as only the water evaporates. In order to make the potatoes be 98% water, the dry mass must become 2% of the total weight—double what it was before.
