USATODAY.com Latest News ... Another common measurement of humidity is the dew point, which most of us also also have to work, at least a little, to understand. ... On the other hand, it is nice to know what a TV meteorologist means by dew point.

DEW-POINT TEMPERATURE ... A temperature less frequently reported on radio or TV is the dew-point temperature. This is the temperature that a sample of air would have if it was cooled until dew (or frost) began to form on a surface immediately adjacent.

The closer the temperature >and the dew point, the more humid the air. Most often we meet humidity as >"relative humidity" given as a percent - meaning the higher the percent, the >closer the temperature and dew point are.

If the air is gradually cooled while maintaining the moisture content constant, the relative humidity will rise until it reaches 100%. This temperature, at which the moisture content in the air will saturate the air, is called the dew point . If the air is cooled further, some of the moisture will condense.

Dew is created when a surface temperature has such a low temperature that the air chills to the dew point and the water vapour condenses. Physically at the dew point temperature the vapour loses the energy that it gained at evaporation, the latent energy, again.

At the dew point temperature moisture contained in air begins to condense onto surrounding surfaces. For a given measured pair of temperatures and relative humidities the dew point can be calculated.

The value highlighted in yellow located in the lower left corner (in the diagram above) is the dew point temperature in degrees Fahrenheit. In this example, the reported dew point temperature is 58 degrees.
