In the second to last paragraph on this page, water vapor pressure is stated in inches of mercury. The numbers shown (17.5 and 16.5) are actually millimeters of mercury. The sentence that says a 1 degree drop in temperature would require a 1 inch of mercury drop in pressure, should say a 1 mm of mercury drop in pressure.
