Your Honor,
Did you mean wet bulb Hygrometer?
to state what everyone here has experience with, humidity factors into heat problems too.
We (and I) used hygrometers all the time when logging during the summer because when the humidity dropped below a certain point we had to shut down the cable logging and chainsaw use then when it dropped lower we had to shut down all cat logging and loading operations and leave the woods.

The fines for failure to keep track of humidity and continue to operate were significant.

Wet bulbs are easy to use as long as the operator is honest about what read they get and with the new digital ones I see...the reading is easy.
