Science - Metrology / Meteorology
Spanish term or phrase: punto de rocĂ­a
Hello. This is from a tourism website. It provides weather related information:

"Máx., Min., Punto de rocía, Humedad, visibilidad, pronóstico próx.días."

By the way, is "Metrology", the (specific) field a mistake, an Americanism or is it just something I have never heard of before? I was looking for Meteorology.

Thanks for your help :)
