Answer 1

A lot of good explanations about the definition already, I just want to add another reason it’s important.

I work on data centers. We care a lot about the wet bulb temperature because it’s a good measure of how effective evaporative cooling will be. You can look into how data center cooling works online, I can’t really explain anything in detail.
