Question about Weather Tool

Good morning,

I would like to make you a question about Weather Tool.

I need calculate Hourly Web Bulb Temperature of a full year from Relative
Humidity and Dry Bulb Temperature. There's a lot of values, so I would like
to kown if Weather Tool can calculate this parameter in an
automatic way. Could I import a file with Relative Humidity and Dry Bulb
Temperature data and obtain a file with Wet Bulb Temperature that I can
export?

Thanks for your assistance.

Best regards.

Calculating Wet Bulb Temperature...

Hi Maria,

Thanks for your question.

Unfortunately, I don't think you will be able to use WeatherTool to calculate wet-bulb temperature from dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity. WeatherTool doesn't calculate anything as such - rather, it is a tool for visually displaying climate and weather data that already exists.

You could use the free Psycho Tool to obtain individual readings of wet-bulb temperature for a given combination of dry-bulb temperature and relative humidity. However, this would obviously take a lot of time to obtain the readings you require.

Alternatively, if you know the equations for calculating wet-bulb temperature, you may be able to use a spreadsheet to calculate the values required.

Hope this helps!

Kind regards,
