What Is Wet Bulb Temperature?
India is experiencing a severe heatwave affecting states like Delhi and Punjab, with high temperatures and humidity impacting daily life. Humidity measurement involves dry bulb, wet bulb, and dew point temperatures. Wet bulb temperature, crucial for understanding humidity, indicates air’s water capacity and affects comfort. High humidity reduces evaporation cooling, increasing discomfort. New research suggests lower safe limits for wet-bulb temperatures, highlighting dangerous conditions at 31°C with 50% humidity or 38°C with 60% humidity.
