Note: Heat index will be the same number as the temperature until the outdoor temperature is above 26.7° C (80 degrees ° F).

Dew Point Temperature:

Dew Point Temperature is the saturation point of the air, or the temperature to which the air has to cool in order to create condensation. The higher the dew points, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given temperature.

View Dew Point Temperature: From a normal display, press the HEAT/DEW button twice and Dew Point will show instead of the outdoor ambient temperature. The words Dew Point will show near outdoor temperatures. Note: Dew Point is lower than the actual temperature.

TEMPERATURE TREND ICONS:
