Climatecalculator

Exhale Condensation Calculator

Determine whether mixed exhaled and outside air condenses and estimate the mixing range and cloud-water content.

If the temperature is low enough or the humidity high, you can observe condensation (i.e., “fog”) forming in your exhaled breath. This calculator estimates whether your exhaled breath will condense, and if so, the range of mixing ratios for which the “fog” will form and the maximum condensed water content (the higher it is, the “thicker” the condensation).

If you’re interested, there are detailed explanations of the condensation process.

Using the above equations, we can calculate whether the exhaled air will condense. Enter the conditions of the outside air (and modify the exhaled air parameters if you wish), to see whether your breath will condense, or not. (Note: typical exhaled air of humans is 35°C and 95% humid.)
