The dew point is the temperature to which air must be cooled for it to become saturated with water vapor. However, there is nothing special about subzero temperatures. They are a peculiarity of the ...

A researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, Germany, has suggested a very simple formula for converting between the relative humidity and the dew point temperature without needing ...
