When high temperature and high dew point occur together, how will the weather feel?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Hot and muggy.

Correct answer: B. Temperature tells us how warm the air is, while dew point gives a useful indication of the actual amount of moisture in the air. A high dew point means that the air contains considerable water vapour; it would need to cool only a little before condensation could begin. When this moist condition is combined with high temperature, sweat evaporates less efficiently because the surrounding air is already moisture-rich. The body consequently feels sticky, and the weather is described as muggy or oppressive. A is wrong because high temperature does not describe cool weather, and a high dew point does not indicate extreme dryness. C is wrong because a high dew point means substantial moisture, not its absence. D is wrong because glacial conditions require very low temperatures, not high temperature. Memory cue: temperature tells “hot or cold”; dew point tells “how moist the air really feels.”
