Weather

WRAL WeatherCenter Blog : I need a chart or "table" that would indicate the body comfort level for the relationship between humidity/dew point and temperature on a sliding scale type format. For example, I'd like something that would indicate if 50% humidity and 78 degrees is comfortable or too humid, as well as for other combinations of those readings. I stay so hot in my house most of the time I sometimes think I must have a serious illness, but I'm sure it's because the humidity is too high in relation to the temperature. I have several hygrometers, but they don't show comfort levels. If you have any idea where I can obtain such a "table" showing normal humidity range for various temperatures, I'll greatly appreciate it! I know dew point is important, too, but I have no idea how to derive that number, so a chart or table is what I need showing the comfort and non-comfort "zones." Thanks for any help you can give!
WRAL WeatherCenter Blog : I was in Sampson County today for the Hail as the cells came through. The hail was golf ball to baseball-size. The one piece of hail that got my windshield was about the size of two softballs, and looked like a bunch of hailstones and slush stuck together. Is it typical for hailstones to stick or clump together and form such a large mass? Having never been in a severe hailstorm, I was amazed to see something that size fall out of the sky.. Pretty impressive. Unfortunately my car didn't fair too well, but quite a sight to see.
