At a coastal city the surface temperature in the early morning is \(30^{\circ}\text{C}\) and the relative humidity is 70 %. The normal environmental lapse rate of \(6.5^{\circ}\text{C km}^{-1}\) applies up to an altitude of 800 m, above which a temperature inversion causes the temperature to increase by \(2^{\circ}\text{C}\) for every 100 m rise. Using the approximation \(T_{\text{dew}} \approx T - \frac{100-\text{RH}}{5}\) to estimate the dew‑point temperature, determine the temperature (to one decimal place) at the cloud base.
