The dew point is the temperature at which water will condense out of the

air. If the dew point were above the temperature, that would mean that some

of the water vapor in the air should have already condensed out. In such a

situation, the excess water WOULD condense out, lowering the amount of water

vapor and consequently the dew point.

What is condensation and where does it happen?

Condensation is a process by which water vapour in the air (or a gas) forms water droplets. It happens when moist air is cooled - usually when it comes into contact with a cold surface. A layer of droplets forming on the outside of a container of drink which has jsut been taken out of a fridge is a good example. Natural events include the formation of dew.
