The dew point is the temperature of the air at which dew starts to appear. Dew is liquid water which condenses out of the water vapor contained in the air. You can often see dew in the early morning on blades of grass and other thin exposed objects. The dew point at any time depends on current atmospheric pressure and air humidity, which are the properties of the air.
