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.
Probably because it's cooler. Lots of shade, and the people that live there must know a thing or two about heat stroke or exhaustion. We have reached 35 degree wet bulbs on earth, but currently only actually on and around the Persian Gulf. Coastal areas are more at risk because of the water.
