Wet bulb temperatureThe temperature of air shown on a wet thermometer as water vapour evaporates from it. The difference between Wet Bulb & Dry Bulb temperatures is a way historically used to determine humidity. Today direct measurement of humidity using electrical sensors causes this terminology to be obsolete.

Wet bulb temperatureThe lowest temperature that can be obtained by evaporating water into the air at constant pressure. The name comes from the technique of putting a wet cloth over the bulb of a mercury thermometer and [..]

Wet bulb temperatureWet-bulb temperature is measured using a standard mercury-in-glass thermometer, with the thermometer bulb wrapped in muslin, which is kept wet. The evaporation of water from the thermometer has a cooling effect, so the temperature indicated by the wet bulb thermometer is less than the temperature indicated by a dry-bulb (normal, unmodified) thermom [..]

Wet bulb temperatureThe air temperature drops after it rains. In the summertime a thunderstorm can break the oppressive heat of the day. As it precipitates, evaporation occurs and the air temperature drops. The wet bulb temperature is the temperature at which no more evaporation will occur, and thus no further decrease in the temperature. The air will continue to cool [..]

Wet bulb temperatureThe wet bulb temperature differs from the dry bulb temperature by an amount dependent on the moisture content of the air and is normally the same as or lower than the dry bulb temperature.

Wet bulb temperatureThe temperature registered by a thermometer whose bulb is covered by a saturated wick and exposed to a current of rapidly moving air. The wet bulb temperature also represents the dew point temperature [..]
