  1. 1

    Dewfall is the forming of dew, or the time in the evening or night when dew begins to appear on grass, leaves, cars, and roofs. Dew does not fall from clouds like rain. It forms in place: when the air is cool and still, water in the air turns into tiny drops on cold surfaces. People still say dewfall, though, because it feels as if the dew has 'come down' onto the ground. You meet the word more in older writing, poems, and nature notes than in everyday talk. A farmer or a walker might say 'after dewfall' to mean the hour when the grass is already wet. It is a quiet, slightly old-fashioned word.
