The featured chart displays an analysis of water vapor surface mixing ratio values for Des Moines. This value is a measure of the amount of water in the air. It is not temperature dependent and can be simply averaged whereas dew point temperature can not. For all the rain and snow we have had, humidity levels have not been often to the extreme high end on a daily basis. Yesterday's levels were about average based on long term data at the site.
