Dear WW: after ten minutes of searching, this URL is the best thing I could find.
If you scroll down a way, there is a chart that maybe you can comprehend better
than I can. I'm feeling lazy. Bill

Dear Ww: Here is URL:http://www.lamtec.com/dew-point-calculator.htm
I had a wonderful visit with my pilot son and grand-daughter. I had just gotten back from
two mile walk, after which I am uually eager to sit a while. But when my son asked if I wanted
to walk around the pond in the park, I pretended to be eager to do so. Then we browsed in a
pilot supply house for half an hour, walked all around the airport, and then went to lunch.
I have to admit I was quite tuckered. So it was time for a senile moment. Luckily I did remember
the search words that finally produced the URL which is far better then the first ten I went through
at length in vain. I have reached my "dew" point - I'm glad to "dew" nothing but sit at the computer
for a while.

Interesting, from WW:

Glad to hear you had a good visit with your son!

This seems to be a very common 'cross the pond usage.

In the UK you would hear "Glad to hear you enjoyed your son's visit" or "Glad to hear you enjoyed visiting your son".

'A good visit with' sounds warm and pleasant, I like it but it doesn't tell you who visited who.

Here's a great weather FAQ at Environment Canada, WW

http://weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/faq_e.html

in which they explain the dew point. (And other things, too.)

So now you know the dew does not fall.

Now that we've cleared all that up, what's with this eleven nonsense? Thirty-two I could see. Or zero if you're being rational.
