Even when it's windy?! How the windchill effect does work? I thought it was because it accelerates the evaporation. Not sure though...

Wet-bulb temperature means equivalent to 100% humidity, at which point there is no evaporation.

Wind increases evaporation if it is occurring, basically a multiplier. At 100% humidity no evaporation is occurring because the air is fully saturated. So the wind is multiplying times zero.
