    The wet bulb point is the temperature + humidity when sweating no longer cools you down. Since sweating is how we avoid heat stroke this is bad.

      So is wet bulb temperature specifically the cutoff point where humans can survive? Or does it just refer to any temperature with 100% humidity? (Like, today's temperature is going to be 75 degrees with 100 percent humidity, for example) I hope that question makes sense.
