Look at the recommended humidity levels from that web site.

wonder if thats accurate? If so maybe thats why we've had trouble with them? Humidity too low..

Is there a difference in a wet bulb reading from a digital?

I have no clue. I didn't even know what a wet bulb was.
I would think humidity like that would keep air cells from growing large enough
And once again I'm sure it has a lot to do with where you live and if the weather is humid or dry. Maybe it's dry in the uk?

And furthermore. . it says the humidity reading is by wet bulb. .and the instructions for the wet bulb is the shoe string in the thermometer. . so how then are you supposed to know what % the humidity is by going off of a thermometer? That makes no sense to my pea brain.
@Pyxis can you explain this wet bulb theory?

Only reason i know is because Charity is obsessed with the UK and talks about it all the time..

I know wet bulb is way different than RH(relative humidity). But no idea how much the numbers vary. Pyxis will tell us I bet.

That crap again. Metzer's website used to do the same thing and almost caused me to kill my first ever batch of eggs.

Those are wet bulb temperatures that someone has written out as humidity percentages. So, very, very wrong. What that should say is 86 degrees measured on the wet bulb thermometer, not 86% humidity. That's gonna ruin someone's eggs
