As the dew point increases, the amount of water vapor in the air will increase. Dew points over 70 usually will indicate humid conditions and possible storms. Dew points in the 50s-60s usually will indicate fair/nice weather. Dew points below 50 will be very dry and pleasent. The dew point and the temperature are plugged into an equation to give you reletive humidity (how humid it is out).

∙ 12y agoBecause dew point tells how much water vapor is present in the air (atmosphere). Dew point is directly related to the amount of water vapor and will increase if there is more water vapor and vice versa. Dew point can provide a direct sense of how comfortable or uncomfortable warm air we can feel. Dew point can also give us a reasonable starting point for estimating low temperatures the following day.

What weather instrument measures dewpoint?
psychrometera hygrometer would be useful!
What is the lowest Dewpoint recorded in the world?
-22 degrees F
What is dew point and how do you know the temperature has reached its dew point?
If its over 50 u have reached dewpoint.
What type of air has a realative humidity of 100 percent?
That would be "dewpoint"...When the air temperature falls to the dewpoint (or dewpoint rises to the air temperature), then you have 100% relative humidity.
Why does nighttime temperatures rarely drop below the dewpoint temperature?
At saturation, latent heat of condensation is released into the air.
What weather instrument measures dewpoint?
psychrometera hygrometer would be useful!
What term refers to the temperature at which the relative humidity is 100?
That would be "dewpoint"...When the air temperature falls to the dewpoint (or dewpoint rises to the air temperature), then you have 100% relative humidity.
Are temperature and dewpoint related?
no
What is the relative humidity when the dewpoint is reached?
100%.
What measures water vapor?
dewpoint apparatus
Clouds form when humid air is cooled to?
Its dewpoint.
What instrument measures water vapor?
dewpoint apparatus
What determines the capacity of holding water vapor in the air?
Dewpoint
What is it called when temperature is saturated and condensation begins?
It is called the dewpoint.
What is the lowest Dewpoint recorded in the world?
-22 degrees F
Is humidity a percentage?
Yes, humidity is expressed as a percentage. When the dewpoint and the humidity are nearly the exactly the same or exactly the same as the air temperature, you'll have fog. The higher the dewpoint, the more humid it will feel.
What is the definition of dewpoint?
The temperature at which air becomes saturated and produces dew
