Wet-bulb temperature: the heat threshold that can kill humans
Wet-bulb temperature, a measure combining air temperature and humidity, was developed in 2010 by scientists from Purdue University and the University of New South Wales. It represents the highest heat stress a human can survive when moist skin is exposed to moving air. A wet-bulb reading of 35°C is considered lethal even for a healthy person resting in shade, as the body can no longer shed excess heat through sweating.
