Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Does any one have a formula for Humidity calculaton from wet and dry bulb temperatures.
My outdoor sensor doesn't last long, the humidity here varies from over 80% early morning dropping to 65% to 70% during the day. At the moment it is 31 Deg. C and78% humidity, very uncomfortable for some but I'm used to it.
I want to use a wet and dry bulb which should last indefinately. I'm thinking of topping up the wet bulb tank with a feed from my garden watering system
  I tried a couple of formulas I found online but they weren't very accurate when compared to a psychrometric chart.

Good luck finding the BOM website that I reference!

You should be able to dry it out once a week or whatever.
