Apparently 57°F. It might be colder right on the coast due to upwelling with this constant N wind.

I assume the low dewpoints were a fohm effect?
Yup, were and still are.

I assume not dropping to the dewpoint? Wind preventing further overnight cooling?
Hell no! If the thermometer ever drops to -15°C in Nice I'll eat my hat. The lows were 29°F in Nice and 24°F in Cannes. Still quite cold for the region. In fact it was the coldest night since 2005 in the former and since 1986 in the latter. Jeez I didn't realize that.
The dew point hovered between -13°C and -19°C (single digits °F) today in Nice. I took a dip in the sea and upon getting out of the water, the dry air felt downright freezing.
Nice! in Nice! Wow at the dip even with water temps in 50s. Not sure I would even try that. lol
My lowest dew so far was negative 20s Celsius. Arctic bone dry. Mid December.

Not everyone gets that to happen. I learned that term from you, never heard of it. Made no sense because so many areas (maybe most?) doesn't relate to. Thought it was always a separate weather indicator. So it sounded strange until I started watching your area. Weird how you touch more often than other areas around. Made no sense. I always knew you can get "an idea" for a low but not actually need to touch.
Chicopee, MA couple degrees off but looks weird always dropping to it. lol
Looky but no touchy in Bridgeport, CT. Ok, maybe touchy sometimes. lol
I know coast vs interior differences but check out Grand Forks, ND. No touchy there. OR Birmingham, Mississippi. There are inland areas that don't necessarily touch all the time
Temp dropping down to dew point would be a common pattern for inland places when it is still. Not really the case lately in Paris with the wind. If it stops, the temp is likely to drop to the dp.
Current European map. Quite low dews in Spain. Large diff between Seville and Gibraltar:

It'd be neat to see where that happens frequently and where it doesn't. Inland places that generally get clear nights with little wind?
I'd assume so. Here's Grenoble's latest graph. Temp dropping to dew point daily as I was expecting:
Isn't it better for us to say that the dews and temps are dropping rather than temps are dropping to dews?
Like on Grenoble's OBS its not like the dews were staying low and the temp dropped to it, they both dropped together.
This is why to me it made no sense hearing the statement. Maybe this is just 1 example but Airmasses change, sun goes down, clouds around, ect ect. So many factors that the 2 indicators are separate. Sometimes they move together, sometimes the temp does meet it down low at night, sometimes they stay separate.
But I wouldn't say "temp dropping to dewpoint" with that location for past 3 days. Looks like they both moved together and not far apart anyway
