  2. Wet-bulb temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature

    The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that may be achieved by evaporative cooling of a water-wetted, ventilated surface.. By contrast, the dew point is the temperature to which the ambient air must be cooled to reach 100% relative humidity assuming there is no further evaporation into the air; it is the temperature where condensation (dew) and clouds would form.

  3. 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 ...

  4. Dew point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point

    If all the other factors influencing humidity remain constant, at ground level the relative humidity rises as the temperature falls; this is because less vapor is needed to saturate the air. In normal conditions, the dew point temperature will not be greater than the air temperature, since relative humidity typically [5] does not exceed 100%. [6]

  5. Humidex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidex

    The humidex (short for humidity index) is an index number used by Canadian meteorologists to describe how hot the weather feels to the average person, by combining the effect of heat and humidity. The term humidex was coined in 1965. [ 1 ]

  6. Heat index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat_index

    A generalized view of the heat index showing how the perception of heat by the human body increases with temperature but more rapidly at higher humidity levels. The heat index of a given combination of temperature and humidity is defined as the dry-bulb temperature which would feel the same if the water vapor pressure were 1.6 kPa. Quoting ...

    Dogs do not consistently age seven times as quickly as humans. Aging in dogs varies widely depending on the breed; certain breeds, such as giant dog breeds and English bulldogs, have much shorter lifespans than average. Most dogs reach adolescence by one year old; smaller and medium-sized breeds begin to age more slowly in adulthood.

  8. Dry-bulb temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry-bulb_temperature

    The dry-bulb temperature (DBT) is the temperature of air measured by a thermometer freely exposed to the air, but shielded from radiation. [1] The dry-bulb temperature is the temperature that is usually thought of as air temperature, and it is the true thermodynamic temperature.

  9. List of dog diseases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dog_diseases

    Dogs with unpigmented skin on the nose may develop this cancer from long-term sun exposure. [165] Perianal gland tumor (also called hepatoid tumor) is a type of tumor found near the anus in dogs that arises from specialized glandular tissue found in the perineum. They are most common in intact (not neutered) male dogs.
