The human body runs at around 36’C and needs to be very near to that ideal or your cells start to break down.
If the wet bulb temp is near to 36 then the human body is much less able to disípate heat and so a wet bulb temp nearing that magic number is when the cells that compose your body basically start to melt.
Humans can survive in temperatures much higher than 36’C because we can sweat and cool ourselves via evaporative cooling but when humidity is high means then your sweat doesn’t evaporate as rapidly.
A wet bulb temperature is the temperature a thermometer shows when it is wet, ie the thermometer is the temperature of a thing subject to evaporative cooling.
Wet-bulb looks at temp and humidity. If it's hot enough and there's enough water in the air, then the human body can no longer cool itself by sweating. This is the wet-bulb temperature.
This calculator let's you put in temp and humidity to see if you're in above wet-bulb temperature. It's pretty unusual for humidity and temperature to both be high enough for this to happen, but it's slated to become more common.
¿Whats the difference between "normal" temperature and wet bulb temperature?
Because 34.5 C° seems low, we regulary get 33 C° in a normal summer

I think because of humidity.
Normal doesn't tell you if the air around you is an oven or not.
