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.

In what type of environment is dew NOT likely to form?

Dew is less likely to form in arid environments with low humidity levels, as the air is drier and can hold less moisture. Additionally, dew is less likely to form in windy environments, as the movement of air can prevent the cooling needed for dew to condense.


Why does dew point change day to day?

Because the temperature changes and the dew point is dependent on the temperature.
