dewPrecipitation in the form of moisture that collects on plants and on the ground. It forms after the temperature of the ground has fallen below the dew point of the air in contact with it. As the temperature falls during the night, the air and its water vapour become chilled, and condensation takes place on the cooled surfaces. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| For, see you, it was our custom to lick the dew from the oar-blades, the gunwales, the thwarts, and the inside planking. At night when the sun went down, the sheets were slackened; in the morning, when they yielded up the damp of the dew and relaxed, they were pulled tight again--and that was all. The night wind tells me secrets Of lotus lilies blue; And hour by hour the willows Shake down the chiming dew. |
