1. What is Dew? 🥤
It refers to the moisture that forms as water vapor in the air condenses into liquid water droplets on surfaces
Ideal Conditions for Dew Formation?
- Clear Sky
- Longer Nights
- High Humidity
- Calm Conditions

2. Formation of Dew
- Night time heat loss cools the Earth's surface
- Absence of clouds enhances infrared radiation escape
- Dropping temperatures saturate air with moisture
- Air reaching its dew point condenses into liquid water
- Moisture forms dew on cooler surfaces

3. How does it impact the Cricket Match? 🤔
- Bowlers struggle to grip the ball, affecting control over the ball
- Dew makes the outfield wet, affecting ball movement &fielders' grip
- Dew on the grass makes it hard for fielders to track the ball, especially during high catches

4. Know about Humidity
Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor present in the air
Different types of humidity are measured to assess atmospheric moisture

5. Types of Humidity
Absolute Humidity:
- Amount of water vapor per unit volume of air
- Usually expressed in grams of water vapor per cubic meter of air
Specific Humidity:
- Actual amount of water vapor/unit mass of air
- Used in meteorology for large-scale weather analysis

Specific Humidity:

- Used in meteorology for large-scale weather analysis
Relative Humidity (RH):
- Expressed as a percentage
- Ratio of the actual amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount it could hold at that temperature
Indicates how close the air is to saturation; 100% RH means saturated air

6. Impact on Cricket
Humid conditions can be physically demanding, affecting players' comfort and performance levels
Humid conditions lead to lower air density, potentially aiding faster ball movement and longer shots

Mumbai is closer to coast. This led to more humidity in the ground hence you see more sweat & Cramps in the match
