Dr Eckener is perfectly correct. The air has very low humidity however this is indicated by the huge difference in temperature and dewpoint given in the question.

Had the question started with a dewpoint of +16c, you would need a tephigram (horribly complicated chart) to work out the temperature increase on the leeward side.
