    Dew points indicate the amount of moisture in the air. The higher the dew point is, the higher the moisture content of the air at a given temperature.
    Relative humidity is the measure of the amount of moisture in the air at a given temperature versus how much it can hold at that temperature. Here's a good link to explain their relationship
