dew point #77

Open bwduncan opened 7 years ago

bwduncan commented 7 years ago

Hey,

I hope this is the right place for a feature request. How difficult would it be to plot dew point? RH is nice, and the % in the location popup is clickable, which makes me think someone once hoped that one could switch into displaying dew point.

Dew point is, to me, a much more useful measurement. It represents more closely heat index (100% humidity at 5°C feels ok, but 100% humidity at 30°C is agony). It also gives a better idea of how much water is in the air. If the dew point is 12°C at 0800 and then the sun rises and raises the temperature by 10°C, the RH goes down, but the dew point might not, depending on whether water is being added to the air.

Please implement a dew point overlay.

Thanks! Bruce

@bwduncan Do you able to find the temperature folder for finding the temperature based on the location. I am executing this github project on window 10 localhost and it has limited functionality of wind and its speed only.
