Hi,
Just wondering how either WD or the Davis VP2 calculated dew point? Mine is reporting about 2 degrees lower in WD than any other station near to me…The temperature and humidity are pretty much the same as others?

It’s a very standard formula. There are many online calculators so plug your temp and hum into any of them to double check your/others results. Here’s one http://www.decatur.de/javascript/dew/
Or even doing your own calculation using this modified (simplified) formula:
Td = T - ( ( 100 - RH ) / 5 )
Where:
- Td is dew point temperature (in degrees Celsius)
- T is observed temperature (in degrees Celsius)
- RH is relative humidity (in percent)
This formula is fairly accurate for relative humidity values above 50%…
