Default dew point?

Late one very clear night last year, I was flying back to Syracuse, NY, and
the temperature at 10,000 feet was around -5 Celsius.

As I started to descend for the approach, the cabin of the aircraft got
noticeably colder (I didn't have the heat on).



Why? CO leak? Or are you just a polar bear?

HI,

Where does a pilot use the dew-point? Why is the volmet transmiting
this info?

Thanks
frank


The dew point is also used to forecast the expected overnight low
temperature. This will be used most by pilots who may be concerned about
their gardens and whether they need to be covered to protect from frost.

Happy landings,
