dew points
Moisture saturation temperatures
Dew points is the plural of dew point, the temperature at which air becomes saturated and water vapor begins condensing into liquid—forming dew, fog, or frost.
Meteorologists use dew point to measure humidity: a high dew point means muggy air, while a low one indicates dry conditions.
The dew point is 72°F, so it'll feel oppressive outside.
