Which of the following is the best indicator of the actual amount of water vapour in the air?

A Air temperature
B Saturation vapour pressure
C Relative humidity
D Dew point temperature

Correct Answer: Dew point temperature

Dew point is a good indicator of the air's actual water vapour content, unlike relative humidity, which takes the air's temperature into account. High dew point indicates high water vapour content; low dew point indicates low water vapour content.
