2. Hygrometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygrometer

   A hygrometer is an instrument which measures the humidity of air or some other gas: that is, how much water vapor it contains. [1] Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantities such as temperature, pressure, mass and mechanical or electrical changes in a substance as moisture is absorbed.

3. Wet-bulb temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature

   The wet-bulb temperature is defined as the temperature of a parcel of air cooled to saturation (100% relative humidity) by the evaporation of water into it, with the latent heat supplied by the parcel. [2] A wet-bulb thermometer indicates a temperature close to the true (thermodynamic) wet-bulb temperature.

4. Indoor–outdoor thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor–outdoor_thermometer

   Indoor–outdoor thermometer. An indoor–outdoor thermometer is a thermometer that simultaneously provides a measurement of the indoor and outdoor temperatures. The outdoor part of the thermometer requires some kind of remote temperature sensing device. Conventionally, this was done by extending the bulb of the thermometer to the remote site.

5. List of weather instruments - Wikipedia

   Weather stations typically have these following instruments: Thermometer for measuring air and sea surface temperature. Barometer for measuring atmospheric pressure. Hygrometer for measuring humidity. Anemometer for measuring wind speed. Pyranometer for measuring solar radiation. Rain gauge for measuring liquid precipitation over a set period ...

6. Humidity - Wikipedia

   A hygrothermograph for humidity and temperature recording Hygrometer for domestic use, wet/dry psychrometer type Thermo hygrometer displaying temperature and relative humidity. A device used to measure humidity of air is called a psychrometer or hygrometer. A humidistat is a humidity-triggered switch, often used to control a humidifier or a ...

7. Wet-bulb globe temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_globe_temperature

   The wet-bulb globe temperature ( WBGT) is a measure of environmental heat as it affects humans. Unlike a simple temperature measurement, WBGT accounts for all four major environmental heat factors: air temperature, humidity, radiant heat (from sunlight or sources such as furnaces), and air movement (wind or ventilation).
