Relative humidity is low.

Explanation:

The wet bulb reads low temperature because due to low humidity of atmosphere, evaporation of water takes place from the wet bulb which makes the bulb cool and therefore it reads lower temperature. In the process of evaporation, heat equal to latent heat of vaporization is taken from the bulb and it loses temperature.
