Calculates the dew point temperature.
Calculation assumes one atmosphere of pressure (101.325 kPa) and requires temperature and relative humidity as inputs.
Dew point is the temperature to which a volume of air at constant barometric pressure must be cooled in order for the water vapor in the air to condense into water. At the dew point the air is said to be saturated, meaning that it cannot hold any more water vapor. Dew point, measured in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius, is an important indicator of human comfort. Higher dew points indicate excessively humid conditions where the body cannot easily cool itself by perspiration. Lower dew points indicate conditions where the skin and airways become dry.

Description |
|
Humidity |
Numeric |
Null |
The relative humidity in percent (values from 0.0% to 100.0%). |
|
Temp |
Numeric |
Null |
The temperature of the air in Celsius or Fahrenheit (depends on the Units property). Values below ‑10 degrees Celsius and above 50 degrees Celsius are not valid inputs, and the resulting calculation will result in a value of Null. |

Out |
Numeric |
The result of the calculation in Celsius or Fahrenheit (depends on the Units property). If either of the inputs are Null, the result is Null. |
