If for a sample of air, the wet bulb temperature equals the dry bulb temperature, it means that the air sample is very highly saturated, that is ~100% relative humidity.
The dry bulb temperature essentially gives the air temperature, measured by a thermometer whose bulb is freely exposed to the air but shielded from externally induced humidity such as by a wet cloth
The wet bulb temperature is that temperature that a sample of air would have if water was evaporated into it, thus raising its relative humidity to 100%, with the latent heat of vaporization being taken from the air. The resulting air is cooler as well as wetter, and the wet bulb temperature is indicative of this.
