The height of cumuliform cloud bases
can be estimated using surface temperature/dew point
spread. Unsaturated air in a convective current cools at
about 5.4�F/1,000 ft., and dew point decreases about
1�F/1,000 ft. In a convective current, temperature and dew
point converge at about 4.4�F/1,000 ft. Thus, if the
temperature/dew point spread is 44� (82� - 38�), divide 44 by
4.4 to obtain 10,000 ft.

The standard temperture at 10,000 feet is cold, very cold.

The standard temp at sea level is 15degrees C. The standard lapse rate is 2 degrees c per 1000 feet so......you would lose 20degrees c
so the standard temp is -5 c or 23 degrees f

23.3 degrees Fahrenheit...but, humidity plays on that figure.
