In addition, various books were taken, such as Mohn's "Meteorology," the Meteorological Institute's "Guide," psychrometric tables, Wiebe's steam-pressure tables for hypsometer observations, etc.

Please note the psychrometric chart that temperature and Enthalpy are not proportional!
-
So in order to reverse engineer out the UHI effect, you must determine the excess amount of temperature, then go to the psychrometric chart, follow the grains of water line from the old temperature to the new temperature which then tells you the proper Enthalpy or total heat.
-
Sensible heat as measured by the thermometer and latent heat as measured by humidity, the psychrometric chart then tells you the total heat in Enthalpy and the total amount of water in the air.
-
Again, going back to the psychrometric chart, the UHI effect not only increases the air temperature but lowers the RH of the air!
-
But seriously, in psychrometric charts with English System Units, appear “grains of water/grains of air” for the absolute humidity.

The physical sciences already can calculate this via the psychrometric chart with Enthalpy and grains of water.
-
After a few minutes of twirling, the temperatures of the wet-bulb and dry-bulb thermometers are determined, a value called the wet-bulb depression is calculated (dry-bulb minus wet-bulb temperature), and a psychrometric table is used to find the corresponding relative humidity from the dry-bulb temperature and wet-bulb depression.
