@MattSpeller So not working in weather often, can you explain the site to me a bit. I understand the sliders, but this just doesn't make any sense to me.

So, you know two data points (or can look them up)

Temperature of server room

Humidity of server room (usually the same as outdoors but can vary widely - use worst case)

plug those into the website, it'll solve for dew point and cough you out a number.

As SAM is no doubt typing out already it's not a super useful thing to know but it can be CRITICAL in places like the everglades where you get super high humidity.

For a real life scenario it's most useful to consider it if your gear is ever powered off for a while (week?)

So dewpoint alerts are probably pretty worthless for us, you're thinking?

Suffice to say you'd be having other things to worry about before DP became an issue.

Like getting power back to your building 😛
