Wet Bulb Temperature risks 2023-2050:
“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 (131°F). A reading of 35°C (95°F) – equivalent to a heat index of 71°C (160°F) – is considered the theoretical human survivability limit for up to six hours of exposure.”
Pictured: locations on earth that are at increased risk of reaching these thresholds for a number of days annually in next 27 years
