The weather in Luton and Slough is Pissing down with chances of pissing down later.
The humidity is giving it 110% too. So it must be getting ready for my stay at home hols next week.

Hang about
You live in Luton/or Slough? Where did you learn rudimentary keyboard skills and human interaction?
(, Thu 4 Aug 2011, 9:04, Reply)
Domiciled in Luton, employed in Slough, dunderhead.
I'll also have you know that my human interaction skills are nowhere near rudimentary, that is a far off aspiration.

I might keep our series of emails as proof that a resident of Luton entered into a succession of gentlemen's agreements
Future generations will never believe it otherwise

I'd find something better to do with your life mate.
OK, who is going to win the next test?

Hahaha
No-one, it's going to be a draw. Unless the selectors are smart enough to retain Bresnan as part of a five-man attack, at Morgan's expense if Trott is fit. Sehwag is going to batter the ball into Aston, barring bowler-friendly conditions or an exceptional showing by our seamers (not unlikely) I predict a high-scoring draw.

Do you give motivational speeches ?

I do as it happens.
In Luton, I am looked up to as a god.

I find humidity odd
to me 100% humidity should mean you are immersed in water

I thought that, but it is relative.
I must have nodded off the day we did this at school.

yet again
I notice a gap in my education. I definitely went to school, and attended almost all lessons. I am left with a distinct feeling that no one ever actually taught me anything though.
(, Thu 4 Aug 2011, 9:15, Reply)
I have a few gaps that I find imposible to fill.
There are 1760 yards in a mile, 63360 inches in a mile. I'll be fucked if I can remember how many feet in a mile though. I was away on the day they did it at school. I know its 5000 odd but I can't remember exactly.
(, Thu 4 Aug 2011, 9:21, Reply)
3 ft in a yard = 1760 * 3 = 5280?

(, Thu 4 Aug 2011, 9:23, Reply)
I know how to work it out.
The other numbers are already there for ready access, but I have to work out the feet to miles one.

It means that the air contains as much water vapour as possible relative to it's temperature

(, Thu 4 Aug 2011, 9:15, Reply)
much obliged
hang on, how can you have more than 100% then?

or can't you?
(, Thu 4 Aug 2011, 9:17, Reply)
I dont think you can
Any more and has to rain?
(, Thu 4 Aug 2011, 9:18, Reply)
that way you'd get rain just appearing around you though
rather than from clouds

I dunno rite

(, Thu 4 Aug 2011, 9:22, Reply)
Nope
Clouds are also liquid water - they're just formed from much smaller droplets. Raindrops are basically just cloud droplets that got too damn big for their own good and fell out of the sky.

Depends on your units
If you're in units of "percentage relative humidity," (%RH) then yes, water should be condensing in the atmosphere around you at 100%RH and forming fog or clouds. At this point, the air holds as much water vapour as it can before the water is forced to condense out.

So I would have thought that, upwards of 100%RH (if those are indeed your units) you should see some sort of mist around you. Unless, of course, your sources have got the air and/or dewpoint temperature wrong. Or you're working in some other funny unit.
