Temp question

[SilverSage]

I've been tweaking my homemade incubator according to some suggestions that I received on here and have a question.

My air temps are 5-10 degrees higher than my wet bulb temp. Which one should I go by?

Is one sitting higher than the other?

The air temp should never get above 103 or below 97 for any length of time. The temperature reading of the wet bulb will be less than a dry thermometer because evaporation of water cools the thermometer.
So keep an eye on both in my opinion. Good luck!!!

I believe a wet bulb thermometer is specifically used to measure humidity levels. The difference between the wet bulb and the dry thermometer can be looked up on a chart to give you relative humidity.
