Enter the current temperature and relative humidity. The calculator will evaluate and display the estimated wet bulb temperature at those conditions.
Wet Bulb Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the wet-bulb temperature.
Tw = T * arctan[0.152 * (rh + 8.3136)^(1/2)] + arctan(T + rh%) – arctan(rh – 1.6763) + 0.00391838 *(rh)^(3/2) * arctan(0.0231 * rh) – 4.686
- Where TW is the wet-bulb temperature
- T is the current temperature
- rh is the relative humidity (%)
How to calculate wet bulb temperature
- First, determine the current temperature
Measure the current temperature using a thermometer.
- Next, determine the current relative humidity
This humidity is measure as a %
- Finally, calculate the wet bulb
Using the current temperature and the humidity, calculate the wet-bulb temperature.
