  Wet bulb temp of 95° F is the start of deadly heat for humans. That’d be about 109° @ 50% humidity, or 130° with dry air. I’d say it’ll be a crap shoot next year, when El Nino is in full swing, whether we see more crop or human death from the heat. But for a glorious moment, we created a lot of value for the shareholders…

  THIS IS FINE!

    A recent study suggested that the safe upper limit in wet bulb conditions might be closer to 88F. Link to an article discussing the research

    Can I ask where you learned that info? I’ve never heard it put that way.

      Well a quick search found this…

      en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bulb_temperature

      Basically the air is warmer and wetter so the human body cannot shed heat.
