This word appears nearly exclusively on the Moscow Times website (www.themoscowtimes.com), a supposedly English language site in the weather section. I think they think it means Relative Humidity, but cannot confirm that via on-line dictionaries.
Does anyone out there have a clue?
Thanks in advance.

Rewelt
While browsing, I happened to come across this thread, so I decided to investigate this use of Rewelt. I too am baffled. (Relative Water Element, perhaps? No, that's just a wild guess.) I haven't found any relevant sources other than the Moscow Times. Here is an example of its use of the term, in an edition from 2008:

I have also visited the website mentioned in Slava's post. This has an up-to-date edition of the paper, which now uses the word "Humidity" rather than "Rewelt".
By the way, does anyone notice a glaring mistake in these weather reports?
