Is it true that temperature can be calculated given relative humidity and dew point?

Yes. Temperature, relative humidity, and dew point are physically interconnected meteorological variables, allowing temperature to be calculated or estimated when relative humidity and dew point are known.

The analysis

The claim proposes that temperature can be calculated given relative humidity and dew point. Multiple papers (0, 3, 5, 11) confirm the close mathematical and empirical relationships among air temperature, relative humidity, and dew point temperature, demonstrating that these psychrometric variables can be derived from one another using standard meteorological formulas.
