What is "wet-bulb temperature"

The wet-bulb temperature is the temperature a parcel of air would have if it were cooled to saturation (100% relative humidity) by the evaporation of water into it, with the latent heat being supplied by the parcel. A wet-bulb thermometer will indicate a temperature close to the true (thermodynamic) wet-bulb temperature. The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that can be reached under current ambient conditions by the evaporation of water only. Wet-bulb temperature is largely determined by both actual air temperature ( dry-bulb temperature) and the amount of moisture in the air ( humidity). At 100% relative humidity, the wet-bulb temperature equals the dry-bulb temperature.
