Is a wet-bulb temperature of 35 ∘C the correct threshold for human survivability?
A wet-bulb temperature of 35 ^∘ C is widely used as the threshold for human survivability, but the wet-bulb temperature is not a particularly accurate metric for human heat stress. For a person in the shade, a more accurate metric is the heat index, which is based on a model of human thermoregulatio...
