No, the dew point temperature cannot be higher than the air temperature. The dew point is the temperature at which air becomes saturated with moisture and water vapor begins to condense into liquid. By definition, the dew point is always less than or equal to the air temperature.
If the dew point is equal to the air temperature, it means the air is fully saturated, and this is when condensation occurs, potentially resulting in dew, fog, or clouds. If the dew point is lower than the air temperature, it indicates that the air is not saturated and can hold more moisture.
