PART A: Using the data above, if the Dry and Wet Bulb Temperatures are close to each other, what does that mean about the Relative Humidity? What does the Dry Bulb Temperature relate to? On a day that it is sunny outside, would you expect the wet and dry bulb temperature to be close to, or far from each other? PART B: If the Dewpoint Temperature and Temperature are far from each other, what does that mean about the relative humidity? On a day that it is raining, would you expect the Dewpoint Temperature and Temperature to be close to each other, or far from each other?
