Even heat-adapted people cannot carry out normal outdoor activities past a wet-bulb temperature of 32 °C (90 °F), equivalent to a heat index of 55 °C (130 °F). The theoretical limit to human survival for more than a few hours in the shade, even with unlimited water, is a wet-bulb temperature of 35 °C (95 °F) – equivalent to a heat index of 70 °C (160 °F).
I’m from the southern hemisphere, so we have winter right now. I’m scared of next summer
what is a wet bulb temperature?
Imagine living in Lugo 💀
We (in southern Europe) are going to need fan cooled clothes to survive summer months.

How many Lugos are there in the world? There’s one in Italy in the area where I live and I believe there are other Lugos in America.
Anyway, I hope it doesn’t get to that level over here in our Lugo area, but I’m not optimistic 🙁
30 wet bulb?? Did I read that correctly, that enough to kill people
