Comment on Dead Monkeys Are Falling From Trees Amid Brutal Heat in Mexico

  You didn’t read properly, I was specifically talking about high humidity. That’s the situation the monkeys who have died were in. Temperatures feel completely different based on the humidity - 35°C at 100% humidity is equivalent to 71°C at 0% humidity.

    Ok, yeah I agree about the humidity aspect; that’s an insane temperature for any living creature.

    But I never said I can stay in 40+ degrees with high humidity either.

      I never said that you said so. I was simply telling you why the monkeys died at “only 37°C”, and why you wouldn’t enjoy 44°C in comparable conditions.
