When the dry and wet bulb temperatures measured by a psychrometer are equal, it means that the air is saturated and relative humidity is 100 percent. Additionally, water vapor content is at a maximum. However, a rise in temperature would not cause condensation because the air is already saturated and cannot hold any more moisture.
