How do we know when it will rain? 我們怎麼知道什麼時候下雨？
If temperature and dewpoint are the same, the relative humidity will be 100%, which means precipitation 如果溫度和露點相同，則相對濕度將為100％，這意味著沉澱
If temperature is the same as the air pressure, the relative humidity will be low, which means precipitation 如果溫度與氣壓相同，則相對濕度會很低，這意味著有降水
High pressure systems tell us that we can expect precipitation 高壓系統告訴我們可以預期會有降水
If there is 100% cloud cover (overcast skies), the relative humidity will be high, which means precipitation 如果有100％的雲層（多雲的天空），則相對濕度會很高，這意味著有降水
