Why paranormal investigators should understand the weather

You may ask yourself why a paranormal investigative group is concerned with the weather. There are many reasons why the weather is important to such groups; here are a few key points:

If you have an outdoor investigation you need to know how to dress.

Humidity is a key factor due to excessive water vapor in the air which may give false positive photos. Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount possible at a given temperature. Air with a relative humidity of 50% is holding half the total amount of water vapor it is capable of holding at that temperature.

Temperature and humidity combined is also necessary to know and understand. The "dew point" is the temperature at which air saturation occurs, and condensation begins. If air at 100% humidity is cooled, condensation will form as fog in the air or on surfaces at or below this temperature (cold glass window of a heated house).This phenomenon may also be observed on a cold winter day when you "see your breath" in the air; your warm breath is cooled enough to condense part of its water vapor, producing the tiny water droplets as fog. This "fog" maybe viewed as a false positive photo.

It is said that with an incoming storm is you can smell the ozone in the air. Storms will produce an abundance of negatively charged ions in the air; this is similar to static electricity, which is excess energy in which spirits can tap into and manifest.

Excessive temperature, as well as extreme low temperature will adversely affect some of the meters used in paranormal research. Rain, Snow and Fog will all produce false positive photos.

Lower temperatures are also good for investigating, why? Static electricity can build up much easier during the winter when the air is dryer. In the summer the humidity does not allow for static electricity to build. So in the colder months there is additional electrical energy in the air to help the spirits become more active.

Solar Energy:

It is a fact that solar flare activity will generate a large amount of excess energy in the atmosphere. This excess energy may be utilized by a spirit to manifest. With this overabundance of energy the amount of spirit activity seen is usually higher than normal.

This also very important to paranormal investigating, the geomagnetic fields are strongest during the full and new moons. This also attributes to energy in which the spirit realm can tap into and become more active.
