Wet bulb temperature is off
-
Where I am on the east coast right now, the temperature is 90 degrees and the humidity is about 55%. The wet bulb temperature displayed in Windy was 74 degrees. Based on other charts I looked at, it is actually closer to 88. Since folks use this app to decide when it is safe be outside, it would be good to double check this feature of the app. If I am correct, it would be good to fix it or remove the feature. Thanks.

What are these charts ?
In Windy there are 6 models providing the forecast of Wet-bulb temperature including American models like HRRR and NAM.
You are may be confusing with wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT)

The name seems similar to that of wet bulb temperature but figures are different.
