So a dew point below the current temp is good? Normally I just look at the humidity. And in the south, it's always humid. -- nm

It can't go above the actual temp (outside of some rare and weird conditions). when Dew Point = temp that means 100% humidity. -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 08:10 2
- but does a Dew Point of 0% mean that if you pour out a stream of water, it instantly vaporizes into the air? - tRuMaN the science guy Aug 17, 08:22 1
  - dew point would be a temperature. at a theoretical relative humidity of 0%, yes, it would all evaporate almost instantly. -- nm - Reagen Aug 17, 08:26
Dew point is always below the current temperature unless it’s raining. - spamlet Aug 17, 08:06
