Wet bulb temperature is the the lowest temperature at

which any fluid can be cooled .


Wet Bulb Temperature is a measure of how much moisture
or water vapour is present in the air. The difference
between the dry bulb temperature and this determines
how much dry the air is. If DBT-WBT is large, then the air
has lower relative humidity. If WBT is close to DBT, then the
air is nearly saturated.
Even in places where it is very humid, RH >80% , people
sweat a lot even when the temperature is low. If one
measures WBT here, they will realize that it is close to DBT.
In simple terms Wet bulb temperature tells you how easy it
is for water to evaporate
