Dewpoint temperature

dew point

n. Abbr. DP

The temperature at which air becomes saturated and produces dew.

dew point

(Earth Sciences / Physical Geography) the temperature at which water vapour in the air becomes saturated and water droplets begin to form

dew point

The temperature at which the water vapor contained in a volume of air at a given atmospheric pressure reaches saturation and condenses to form dew. The dew point varies depending on how much water vapor the air contains, with humid air having a higher dew point than dry air. When large droplets of condensation form, they are deposited onto surfaces as dew. When smaller droplets form, they remain suspended in the air as mist or fog. If the dew point is below the freezing temperature of water (0°C), the water vapor turns directly into frost by sublimation.
