dewpoints
Condensation begins here
Dewpoints is the plural of dewpoint, the temperature at which air becomes saturated and water vapor begins to condense into dew or fog.
Weather forecasts report dewpoints to indicate humidity comfort levels—a dewpoint above 65°F feels muggy, while below 50°F feels dry: Dewpoints in the 70s made the heat feel oppressive.
