Penn State researchers found that the maximum wet-bulb temperature humans can endure is lower than previously thought — about 31°C wet-bulb or 87°F at 100% humidity — even for young, healthy subjects. The temperature for older populations, who are more vulnerable to heat, is likely even lower.
humidity does get lower than 40% at high temperatures in non desert climates. (for example, Nashville, TN, is currently at 27%, and Columbus, OH, is at 25%)
My city in Florida actually had a fairly mild day today, it was only like 35% humidity so it was 95, real feel 98. Going outside felt like stepping into a hair dryer instead of hell.
North of the 45th you still have to worry about those 90+ days with high humidity.
87F wet bulb is equivalent to:
90F/88%
95F/71%
100F/57%
105F/46%
Humidity doesn't get much lower than 40% unless you're in a desert so be super careful if it ever goes over 105 up there.
i experienced the freakish "heat dome" last year, it was a wakeup call for sure. felt like being back in kingman in all the bad ways.
Whenever I think of Kingman AZ, I think of that one sascha Baron Cohen sketch where he has a bunch of Kingman residents as a focus group for the new Mosque coming to town. Try to spot the Security guards in the crowd.
what can i say; there's a reason i left
So there's a bunch of nazis there too?
:yea:

Damn, that's pretty low. Good thing they don't get bad drought or that'd be wildfire city.
