Low Dew Point is when the moisture in the air is dry.

High Dew Point is when the moisture in the air is moist.

When is dew point reached?

Dew point is reached when the temperature is low.


Why is cold polar air described as dry when the relative humidity of that air is very high?

The polar air has a high relative humidity due to the temperature of the polar region being close to the dew point temperature. The closer the dew point temperature is to the surrounding temperature, the higher is the relative humidity. The air in the polar region is considered dry as the dew point temperature is low. Low dew point indicates low water vapor content. So since the dew point in the north pole is low, it has a low water vapor content in the air, resulting in it being dry.


What does a low dew point mean?

a low dew point means that air can hold less water vapor.


Why polar air described as dry when the relative humidity of that air is very high?

Temperature of polar is such low and much closer to the dew point, so the relative humidity is high. But low dew point let little water vapor be hold by the air, so it is dry.

How are temperature and dew point associated?

The closer they are together the more humid it is.


What temperature is swamp cooler air?

It is a function of the "dew point" of the air at any given moment. If relative humidity is high, the dew point will also be high and the swamp cooler air will be relatively warm. If relative humidity is low, the dew point will also be low and the swamp cooler air will be relatively cold. A swamp cooler in Phx AZ will put out air about 30 degrees less than the outside air, and works more efficiently when the humidity outside is very low.


Is 60 high humidity?

It depends on what you mean. A dew point of 60 degrees Fahrenheit would be considered moderate to high humidity. A relative humidity of 60% would usually be considered low at low temperatures and high at high temperatures.


What will warm moist air will have?

high humidity and high dew point


What does a low dew point indicate about the moisture of the air?

Why fog form when humidity is high and temperature is low?

When humid air near the ground cools below it's dew point, Fog is formed.


Under what conditions will dew not form?

If the temperature of the ground, grass, and other surfaces is warmer than the dew point of the air that comes in contact with the surfaces, dew will not form. Sometimes this happens when the air is really dry and the dew point is very low.
