Dew point vs. relative humidity – which is more useful to determine comfort level? Undoubtedly, the answer is the dew point temperature, but it’s not perfect in every instance. Let’s look at relative ...

The dew point is the temperature that the air would have to be cooled to (at constant pressure) in order to reach saturation. As the temperature drops to the dew point, water vapor molecules condense.
