Calculating dew point can be done with the following equation that is called the Magnus formula:
Your result will be a single value, the temperature at which the air will be completely saturated with water. This value is displayed in Fahrenheit by default, but can be converted easily into Celsius or Kelvin by choosing them from the dropdown menu.
Let's say it is 40 degrees Fahrenheit outside and the current relative humidity is 58%. We can plug those values into this tool to get the dew point temperature. First we enter 40 into the temperature field and then 58 into the humidity field.
We can now hit calculate to get the dew point temperature of 26.43 degrees Fahrenheit, or -3.09 degrees Celsius.
Dew point is the temperature at which the air becomes saturated with water vapor whereas humidity is the percent of the air that is currently full of water. If it is more humid, it means the air is holding onto more water, which can make it feel muggy and sticky. Low humidity makes it feel very dry out.
Yes, there is a chance that dew point can be a temperature that is lower than 0.
The highest dew point ever recorded was 95°F in Saudi Arabia, back in 2003 where it was 108°F at the time.
