Dew forms when the air just above the ground is cooled to its dew point (a temperature at which the water dissolved in the air comes out of the air). The air above the ground is cooled because the ground radiates heat into space.
If there are clouds overhead the clouds reflect the heat back to the ground so it does not cool and o dew forms.
If it is windy then the air just above the ground keeps on getting mixed with the air higher up and the air does not cooled to the dew point and no dew forms.
Thus to form dew you need a still clear night.

What happens to dew as the day gets warmer?
when the day gets warmer dew melts
How could you find out if dew point is always the same?
Dew point is not always the same. It changes throughout the course of the day.
Why is it colder right before dawn?
On clear nights, water vapor will condense and form dew as the temperature drops overnight. When the sun is shining again in the morning, some solar energy will be used to evaporate the dew. On a cloudy night, the clouds prevent the heat loss that leads to the normal overnight temperature drop, so dew does not form. Thus the morning after a cloudy night, all of the solar energy will contribute to air temperature since there is no dew to evaporate.
What is bubble point and dew point in petroleum?
It is the minimum temperature at which the first vapour or gas bubble is formed.
What is given as a percentage indicating how much water vapor is in the air on a certain day?

What is a word that describes weather?
Atmosphere, thermometer, gravity, rain, condensation, cumulus cloud, hurricane, humidity, transpiration, lightning, precipitation, meteorologist, tornado, rainbow, dew, fog, snow, wind, thunder, hail, drought, cirrus cloud, monsoon, barometer, nimbostratus cloud, temperature, and stratus cloud.
What degrees is the average dew point formed?
43oC
Why does dew point change day to day?
Because the temperature changes and the dew point is dependent on the temperature.
What condensation occur?
Condensation occurs at dew point temperature which is "the temp. at which first dew from vapours is formed when we are decreasing the temp. of the vapours".

Probably the same way as it does he rest of the year.
