I recently added a weather station to the company I manage. One of my employees sent me the following question:
"As a drag racer [the information on the weather site] is very useful for Air/Fuel calibrations will it also tell you “grains of water” or is that included in the moisture number or dew point ."

Does anyone know the answer to this question?
