    Say Hello, Bernie

    This is just awful! The wind is picking up speed and if my calculations based on the past four samples are correct, this storm will peak at upwards of 32 km/h!



    The air pressure is rising, also.



    Humidity is dropping!



    The temperature is rising!

      It might rain! Think of the people without umbrellas or raincoats, you insensitive clod!

            LA?

            Is that one umbrella for each rain day over the next year?

              I like getting wet. Getting wet makes me hot.

                Asher...please don't make any more threads like this. This is weak!

                  This is more important than Russia. This is potential rain.

                    Humidity is dropping!
                    Actually, the air humidity is staying fairly stable. Now the relative humidity is of course dropping because the temperature is rising -- relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air, expressed as % of the amount that is the maximum amount of water vapor which theoretically could be in the air under present conditions. When the temperature goes up, the amount of maximum water vapor which could be within the air goes up.

                    BTW, this is the second time I've caught you completely misunderstanding a graph you've been citing, Asher. It seems you're graph illiterate

                      What is the Y axis labeled, smartass?

                      I understand the concept of relatively humidity, thank you very much. I also understand how to read graphs, specifically the Y quantity label, which is "Humidity (%)". Thus, in reference to this graph, the statement "Humidity is dropping" as the Y-axis values drop is correct.

                      Your understanding of context is not.

                        Oh no, you're not getting away with an ad hominem attack

                        What is the Y axis labeled, smartass?
                        Ah so typical of you -- when someone helpfully corrects you, respond with a personal attack

                        Considering that the graph is titled "relative humidity" and there's not enough room for that many characters in the y-axis label, I think it's fairly obvious that it measures relative humidity. It is perfectly valid for the chart-maker to shorten the full description of the y-axis if that full description is given in the title.

                        I understand the concept of relatively humidity, thank you very much.
                        You know what? I don't believe you. I think you're shallow enough to be lying about this. Furthermore, everyone who understands the concept of relative humidity would've realised automatically that the absolute humidity is staying still with a single glance of the two graphs, since the shown temperature amount is inversely proportional to the shown relative humidity amount.

                          I completely agree, which is why I'm puzzled why you found it confusing and felt the need to "correct" me when it is very clear from the context, especially given the graph which is immediately next to the comment.

                          You're being what's called pedantic, which is so very annoying. Pedantic people are psychopaths.

                          And calling you a "smartass" in a situation like this isn't a personal attack, it's an extremely accurate comment describing what you're doing.
