How do you use a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer?

as the air passes over the wet bulb thermometer the water in the cloth evaporates. as the water evaporates the cloth cools. if the humidity is low the water will evaporate more quickly and the temperature reading on the wet bulb thermometer will drop. if the humidity is high only a little bit of water will evaporate from the cloth of the wet bulb thermometer and the change in temperature will be small.
