2. Hygrometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygrometer

   A hygrometer is an instrument which measures the humidity of air or some other gas: that is, how much of it is water vapor. [1] Humidity measurement instruments usually rely on measurements of some other quantities such as temperature, pressure, mass, and mechanical or electrical changes in a substance as moisture is absorbed.

3. Indoor–outdoor thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indoor–outdoor_thermometer

   In an indoor–outdoor thermometer based on a conventional liquid-in-glass thermometer, the stem of the outdoor thermometer is connected to the bulb by a long, flexible or semi-rigid capillary. The temperature scale is marked on the stem as usual. However, the temperature that is actually measured is the temperature at the bulb. [1]

4. Wet-bulb globe temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_globe_temperature

   T w = Natural wet-bulb temperature (combined with dry-bulb temperature indicates humidity) T g = Globe thermometer temperature (measured with a globe thermometer, also known as a black globe thermometer) T d = Dry-bulb temperature (actual air temperature) Temperatures may be in either Celsius or Fahrenheit; Indoors the following formula is used:

5. Thermometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermometer

   A thermometer has two important elements: (1) a temperature sensor (e.g. the bulb of a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the pyrometric sensor in an infrared thermometer) in which some change occurs with a change in temperature; and (2) some means of converting this change into a numerical value (e.g. the visible scale that is marked on a mercury ...

6. Room temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_temperature

   A digital thermometer reading an ambient temperature of 36.4°C (97°F) in an unventilated room during a heat wave; a high indoor temperature can cause heat exhaustion or heat stroke in a person. The World Health Organization in 1987 found that comfortable indoor temperatures of 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) were not associated with health risks ...

7. Mean radiant temperature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_radiant_temperature

   A handheld wet-bulb globe temperature meter, including a black-globe thermometer (left). The MRT can be estimated using a black-globe thermometer.The black-globe thermometer consists of a black globe in the center of which is placed a temperature sensor such as the bulb of a mercury thermometer, a thermocouple or a resistance probe.
