Wet-bulb temperature
Videos
The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be reached by the evaporation of water under current ambient conditions. It combines humidity and temperature to better reflect heat stress
A sling psychrometer. The small fabric sock covering the bulb of the upper thermometer is wet with distilled water and whirled around for a minute or more before taking the "wet-bulb" thermometer's reading. The lower thermometer provides the "dry-bulb" temperature.

Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation,
Wet-bulb temperature
…The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be reached by the evaporation of water under current ambient conditions. It combines humidity and temperature to better reflect heat stress on humans, as the body's ability to cool itself through sweating is reduced at higher humidity. At 100…
