Wet bulb temperature is measured with a thermometer whose sensing element is covered by a clean, damp wick and exposed to moving air. As water evaporates from the wick, it cools the sensor; the reading is the wet bulb temperature, while a nearby dry, un-wetted thermometer measures ordinary air temperature. The result helps describe how
