This is the point at which saturation occurs. This is also signifies 100% relative humidity. If you want to find out how close it is to reaching saturation, all you have to do is find actual vapor pressure (found by temp.), and saturation vapor pressure(found by dewpoint). You can look online for conversion charts. Once you find them, plug them into this equation: actual vapor pressure/saturation vapor pressure x 100%. Your answer should be a percentage. If it's around 60-80 percent, then you know it's cold, and there is high humidity; thus, saturation is likely to occur. If it's around 10-30 percent, then you know the humidity is low and saturation is not likely occur. Warm weather= low humidity Cold weather= high humidity.

What is the dew point and what happens when it falls below the dew point?
The Dew Point is the temperature at which the air is at 100% Relative Humidity. If the temperature fall below the Dew Point, then there is more moisture in the air than it can hold, and water condenses in the form of dew, mist, rain, etc.
What happens when the air temperature and the dew point temperature are close together?
When both come closer,relative humidity increases;When they are almost equal,condensation water vapour begins.
Can dew point ever equal wet bulb temperature?
Yes, at saturation.
When air mass cools when will water condense?
when the temperature reaches the dew point.
A sentence for dew point?
The dew point controlled the temperature of the air.
Describe what happens when air is cooled to its dew point?
The dew point is the varying temperature at which atmospheric humidity condenses. If the air temperature drops below the dew point, dew and condensation form.
What is the dew point and what happens when it falls below the dew point?
The Dew Point is the temperature at which the air is at 100% Relative Humidity. If the temperature fall below the Dew Point, then there is more moisture in the air than it can hold, and water condenses in the form of dew, mist, rain, etc.
When the relative humidity is 100 percent the air temperature is equal to the dew point temperature?
Yes.
What happens when the air temperature and the dew point temperature are close together?
When both come closer,relative humidity increases;When they are almost equal,condensation water vapour begins.
Can dew point ever equal wet bulb temperature?
Yes, at saturation.
What happens with converging temperature and dew-point spread?
Fog and low clouds
When temperatures are below the dew point what form on a surface?
Water will condense onto surfaces when it is saturated or supersaturated (dew point equal to or above temperature).
When temperatures are below the dew point what forms on the surface?
Water will condense onto surfaces when it is saturated or supersaturated (dew point equal to or above temperature).
When the ground has enough moisture and the temperature reaches the dew point what happens?
When the temperature comes down to the dew point, the air can support no more water vapour and the dew begins to to form. Air can absorb more water vapour as the temperature rises, so the difference between the dew point and the actual temperature gives a measure of the humidity.
Why isn't dew point always the same?
The dew point is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere. As the temperature gets closer to the dew point, the humidity rises. When the temperature finally drops to the dew point (100% humidity), the the atmosphere is completely saturated with water, and it will start to rain (or snow, if the dew point is below freezing). Since the atmosphere is completely saturated when the temperature is at the dew point, it cannot go below the dew point.
Temperature to which air must be cooled to reach saturation?
The temperature to which air must be cooled to reach saturation is called the dew point.
Is the dew point The temperature at which a gas deposits?
Dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated.
