Wet- and dry-bulb thermometers are read to the nearest what?

Wet- and dry-bulb thermometers are designed to measure temperature with a high degree of accuracy. They are typically read to the nearest tenth of a degree (0.1 degrees). This level of precision is important for applications such as calculating relative humidity, which requires accurate temperature readings to be effective. The wet-bulb thermometer measures the temperature of evaporative cooling, while the dry-bulb thermometer measures the ambient air temperature. The combination of both readings allows for a more precise determination of moisture content in the air, which is critical in meteorology and various aviation operations. The focus on tenths of a degree ensures that these significant measurements can capture small variations that could affect weather predictions and observations.
