dew pointTemperature at which the air becomes saturated with water vapour. At temperatures below the dew point, the water vapour condenses out of the air as droplets. If the droplets are large they become deposited on plants and the ground as dew; if small they remain in suspension in the air and form mist or fog. How to thank TFD for its existence?
