We *don't* measure the temperature excluding humidity. We just measure the temperature. It's really easy. Temperature doesn't change with humidity.

What changes is how hot it *feels*...when the air is dry sweating works better and we feel cooler. When the air is humid sweating works badly and we feel hotter. But the actual temperature isn't changing.

If the humidity is less than 100%, water is evaporating from the wet bulb, and taking heat with it. If the humidity is 100%, dry bulb and wet bulb are the same temperature.

Low humidity means water evaporates more quickly, so heat gets sucked out more quickly.
