Dew Point

Which combination of temperature and dew point would “feel” more humid:

• 30^oF and 30^oF dew point temperature

• 42^oF and 40^oF dew point temperature

• 80^oF and 60^oF dew point temperature

The temperature at which air is saturated with water vapor and condensation occurs is called

• humidity

• air pressure

• dew point

• relative humidity
